Where do you put Goni coral?
Goniopora can thrive in a wide range of lighting. We have kept Goniopora in different lighting intensities here at Tidal Gardens ranging from very dimly lit 50 PAR tanks all the way to bright aquariums receiving over 200 PAR. I would recommend placing them under moderate lighting intensities, between 75-125 PAR.
How fast do Goniopora grow?
Once the tissue reaches the plug or rock encrusting growth can be as quick as 1 mm a month. The next step in Goniopora propagation (and for all corals for that matter) is sexual reproduction in captivity.
Do Goniopora like dirty water?
I have mine in medium light and medium/strong flow. They are like euphyllia and like dirty water.
Will Goniopora spread?
This is my fastest growing Goniopora. Tissue spreads quickly over freshly cut skeleton and then onto the mounting plug. It prefers moderate to high water flow, with moderate to high lighting conditions.
Are Goniopora easy to keep?
I just talked to the owner from the store who held the auction and he said they used to be difficult because no one knew how to feed them but that Reef roids was especially made for them and since that product became available, they are easy to keep.
Is Goniopora closed at night?
We’ve had it for almost a year and for the first six months or so it was doing great. It doubled in size and was fully extended all day, usually closing up at night when the lights went off. Then about 2 months ago it stopped extended and was basically closed up all day.
How often should I feed my Goniopora?
It prefers moderate to high water flow, with moderate to high lighting conditions. I feed this species DT’s oyster eggs, Cyclop-eeze juice and phytoplankton three to five times per week. In my opinion, this coral does not need direct feeding to thrive, although such feedings do seem to enhance its growth.

Are goniopora hard to keep?
Goniopora are a very difficult coral to keep alive and are not recommended for a novice reef aquarium hobbyist. The short, greenish-colored species are less sturdy and durable than the pink or purple species. When placing Goniopora they must have enough room to grow and move their tentacles.
