Rare Long Tentacle Red Goniopora – Aquacultured Frag

Rare Long Tentacle Red Goniopora – Aquacultured Frag is offered under the retail name shown in the product title.

This is a Goniopora flowerpot coral. Color and tentacle-length terms in the title are aquarium-trade descriptors, not a verified species identification. Species-level hardiness varies, so this coral should not be treated as universally beginner-friendly.

Care Guide

• Lighting: Begin around 75–125 PAR and acclimate gradually. Do not move a newly received coral directly into the brightest part of the aquarium.
• Flow: Use low-to-moderate, random or indirect flow. Extended polyps should sway naturally rather than whip, fold over, or remain pinned to one side.
• Placement: Use a stable lower-to-middle position with room for full extension. Keep expanded polyps from touching rock edges or neighboring corals.
• Feeding: Regular fine feeding is beneficial. Offer a conservatively portioned planktonic or powdered coral food two or three times weekly without allowing uneaten food to accumulate.
• Spacing: Treat as semi-aggressive with contact risk. Start with 4–6 inches of open space and increase it if the extended polyps can reach a neighbor.

Keep salinity and alkalinity stable, change one variable at a time, and use sustained polyp extension as feedback. Do not diagnose a closed flowerpot coral from one parameter or one day of behavior alone.
