π½οΈ Care & Feeding
While primarily photosynthetic, Goniopora species thrive with supplemental feedings 2β3 times per week. Offer fine coral foods like Reef Roids, Phytoplankton, or Coral Dust to support vibrant growth and strong polyp extension.
Maintain stable nutrient levels and supplement trace elements (particularly manganese, iron, and potassium) to enhance colour saturation and health.
