About this piece
A Goniopora, often called a Flowerpot Coral, is a large-polyp stony (LPS) coral known for its long, flowing polyps that emerge from a stony base and resemble dancing flowers or daisies in the current. Each polyp has a long stem topped with a corolla of 24 tentacles (like a flower), giving it a very soft, fluffy appearance. They are famous for their beautiful, graceful movement but are also known for being one of the more challenging LPS corals to keep long-term, making them a project for more experienced aquarists. They require very stable, pristine water quality and often benefit from targeted feeding. Some varieties are hardier than others.
All of our frags are healthy, fully acclimated, and ready to thrive in your aquarium! They have been fragged and healed for several weeks, ensuring a smooth transition to your tank.
Once the coral has entered your aquarium, we are unable to accept any losses. In the very rare event of a shipment being delayed by courier for any reason which leads to DOA, we cannot be held responsible.
Orders are sent on every Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, with Royal Mail Special delivery.

Watch for. Keep nitrate and phosphate measurable and alkalinity steady; too much light bleaches, too little turns it brown.
These are typical ranges researched for this type of coral, not measurements of this piece. Start low and raise light over one to two weeks.
