WYSIWYG Collector Rainbow Goniopora Colony (2.5″) – Ultra Rare

You are buying the exact coral in the photo. This is a 2.5″ Collector Rainbow Goniopora colony, an ultra rare piece, and the color you see is true to the animal. Under blue spectrum reef lighting each polyp opens to a salmon pink center ringed in gold, with plum and purple tentacles tipped in bright blue dots. The stalks run cream, lime green and pink, so the colony shows a different color at every level. Conditioned in our Key West systems and photographed in our showroom. Additional photos are available on request.

About Rainbow Goniopora

Goniopora is the flowerpot coral, an LPS with long-stalked polyps that sway in the current. A true rainbow goni carries several colors at once in the same polyp: center, ring, tentacles and tips all different. Most goniopora on the market come in one or two colors. A piece with this many is what collectors look for, and they do not come up often.

Care Guide

Moderate care. Goniopora rewards steady feeding and stable water with full polyp extension and steady growth.

Lighting: Medium — PAR 100–200. Acclimate it to new lighting over a week or two.
Flow: Medium — enough random flow to keep the tentacles moving, never a direct jet.
Placement: Sandbed or lower rockwork, with room for the tentacles to extend fully.
Feeding: High — fine plankton, powdered coral foods, and amino acids several times a week.
Aggression: Peaceful. Keep it clear of aggressive neighbors with long sweepers.
Water Parameters: Temp 76–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026, Alk 8–9 dKH, Ca 420–440, Mg 1300–1400. Stability matters more than exact numbers.
