💙🌼🪸 Goniopora “Blue Solar Flare” – Frag
Frag Specimen – Electric Blue Tentacles & Golden Yellow Centre
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Moderate
Temperament: Peaceful
Colour Form: Bright electric-blue polyps surrounding an intense golden-yellow oral centre, creating a strong high-contrast “solar flare” effect under reef lighting. Under actinic spectrum, the blue fluorescence becomes highly vibrant while the yellow core glows with warm neon intensity. Under balanced white lighting, softer icy-blue and creamy yellow tones emerge with excellent depth and shimmer.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–8.5, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Poritidae
Lighting: Moderate (PAR 80–180)
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect and random
Placement: Lower to mid reef
Type: Frag
🧬 Overview
The Goniopora “Blue Solar Flare” is an eye-catching modern Goniopora morph prized for its intense colour contrast and flowing polyp movement. Its radiant blue tentacles paired with a vivid yellow centre create a glowing halo effect that instantly stands out in mixed reef aquariums.
When fully extended, the coral develops a soft waving motion that adds movement and visual texture to the reefscape. Under blue-spectrum lighting, the fluorescence becomes especially dramatic, making this coral an excellent focal piece for LPS and mixed reef systems.
This variety performs best in mature aquariums with stable nutrient levels and moderate indirect flow that allows full polyp extension without excessive tissue stress.
🧾 Frag Information
You will receive:
• A healthy frag mounted on plug or reef base
• Strong blue and yellow fluorescent coloration
• Fully extended healthy polyps
• Similar colouration and structure to the reference specimen shown
Selected for:
• Ultra vibrant blue fluorescence
• Intense golden-yellow oral centres
• Excellent polyp extension
• Strong movement in reef flow
• High visual contrast under actinic lighting
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Photosynthetic but strongly benefits from regular feeding and stable nutrients.
Recommended:
• Fine particulate coral foods
• Phytoplankton and zooplankton blends
• Amino acid supplementation
• Stable nitrate and phosphate availability
• Moderate nutrient systems
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 400–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in lower to middle areas of the aquarium under moderate lighting and indirect flow. Avoid excessively strong direct flow to maintain full polyp extension and optimal tissue health.
