Care
Goniopora has a reputation for being hard to keep long-term. It wants stable parameters, moderate indirect flow, and regular feeding with fine particulate foods — a nutrient-poor tank is usually what starves them. Give the long polyps room to extend without touching neighbours.
Acclimation
Float the sealed bag for 15 minutes to equalise temperature, then drip acclimate for 30–45 minutes before placing. Start the coral low in the tank and move it up over a week or two if it wants more light. A freshwater or iodine dip before it goes in is cheap insurance against hitchhikers.
Photographed under blue/actinic aquarium lighting, which is how most reef tanks are viewed. Colours will look different under white light.
