Ultra Green Goniopora WYSIWYG

Ultra Green Goniopora (Goniopora sp.)

Description:
The Ultra Green Goniopora, also known as the Green Flowerpot Coral, is a breathtaking LPS coral prized for its intense fluorescent green colouration and graceful, flower-like polyps. Each polyp extends on long, delicate stalks that sway beautifully in the current, bringing natural motion and vibrant colour to your reef. Under blue or actinic lighting, the brilliant green tones glow with an almost electric intensity, making this coral a true visual centerpiece.

This variety of Goniopora is aquacultured for improved resilience and adaptability, making it a stunning yet manageable choice for reef hobbyists with stable, mature systems.

Care Level: Moderate to Difficult
Temperament: Peaceful
Placement: Mid to lower regions of the tank, allowing room for full polyp extension and gentle, indirect flow.

Ideal Water Parameters

Feeding & Nutrition:

While the Ultra Green Goniopora gains much of its energy through photosynthesis from its symbiotic zooxanthellae, regular target feeding will greatly improve its color, polyp extension, and overall health. Offer fine particulate foods such as Reef Roids, or phytoplankton 2–3 times per week.

Notes:

• Best suited to stable, established reef systems with consistent water parameters.

• Avoid strong, direct flow that may damage extended polyps.

• Acclimate slowly to lighting changes to maintain vibrant coloration.

• Maintain moderate nutrient levels, not ultra-low for long-term success.
