WYSIWYG – Pink Gonipora | First Due Aquatic Rescue

WYSIWYG Pink Goniopora (Goniopora sp.)

Long-Polyp LPS – Vibrant Color, Rhythmic Flow

Care Facts

• Lighting: Moderate (PAR 80–150)

• Flow: Low to Moderate

• Aggression: Peaceful

• Polyp Extension: Long, flowing

• Placement: Mid to Bottom

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Description

This WYSIWYG Pink Goniopora showcases a vivid, bubblegum-pink base with long, daisy-like polyps that dance gently in the flow. Known for their mesmerizing movement and unique structure, Goniopora make exceptional display corals when given proper care.

This piece is well-established and responds well to stable conditions and targeted feeding. While Goniopora once had a reputation for being difficult, modern aquaculture and feeding practices have made them far more manageable—especially with routine amino acid and microplankton dosing.

Feeding Recommendations

• Benefits from target feeding 2–3x weekly with:

  • Reef roids

  • Phytoplankton

  • Amino acid supplements

• Nighttime feeding or low-flow conditions can enhance polyp extension and absorption.

Placement Tips

• Place where gentle, random flow brushes over the colony without blasting it.

• Avoid aggressive neighbors or sandstorms near the base.

• Can thrive under modern LED setups with a mix of daylight and blue spectrum.

Why It Stands Out

• Striking pink coloration that pops under blues

• Calming, elegant movement in flow

• A conversation piece in mixed LPS or softie tanks

• Can grow into a full dome with proper care and stability
