The Yellow-Green Goniopora Colony is an exceptional Large Polyp Stony (LPS) coral featuring vivid coloration and long, flower-like polyps that produce graceful movement in the reef aquarium. Under blue-spectrum lighting, its radiant yellow and green tones intensify dramatically, creating an eye-catching showpiece.

As an established WYSIWYG colony, it offers immediate visual presence with healthy polyp extension. It thrives in moderate, indirect water flow and stable reef lighting, benefiting from regular supplemental feedings of fine particulate planktonic foods.

  • Water Requirements: Maintain stable reef conditions with consistent alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium. Avoid rapid fluctuations in salinity, temperature, or other major parameters.
  • Water Flow: Moderate, preferably indirect. Enough flow should be provided to gently move the polyps without constantly blasting or retracting them.
  • Lighting: Moderate reef lighting is generally appropriate.

Materials & care

Maintain stable reef aquarium parameters with steady alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium. Provide moderate, indirect water flow and moderate lighting, supplementing with fine particulate plankton feeds 1–2 times weekly.

Compatibility

Reef safe but semi-aggressive toward nearby corals. Provide ample surrounding space in the lower to middle rockwork to allow its long polyps to extend fully without touching or stinging adjacent specimens.
