🧬 Overview
The Toxic Surge Goni is an oversized colony of Goniopora sp., boasting a hypnotic wall of pure neon green polyps. This XXL formation transforms any aquascape into a kinetic, glowing meadow — perfect for reefers seeking maximum visual impact with natural movement.
Highly fluorescent under actinic lighting, this morph is not only a colour bomb but also a structural feature, delivering volume, texture, and flow to the reef. Rarely seen at this size, it's a true statement coral for advanced hobbyists and collectors.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Although photosynthetic, this Goniopora thrives with 2–3 weekly target feedings. Use fine particle foods like phytoplankton, rotifers, reef roids, or amino-enhanced coral blends to support full polyp extension and long-term health.
Ensure soft, variable flow that reaches the entire colony without blasting any one section. Avoid aggressive neighbours and monitor for tissue retraction as an early warning of stress.
📈 Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–11
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1250–1350 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 5–15 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.03–0.08 ppm
📍 Placement
Position in a mid to lower reef zone with room for full lateral and vertical expansion. Lighting should favour blue-heavy spectrums to intensify fluorescence. Be sure to provide a stable base — this colony is both large and delicate.
