Overview
The Golden Inferno Blossom Goni is a blazing aquacultured marvel — a true showstopper with its molten gold polyps that open and flow like petals in a solar wind. Cultivated in stable, controlled conditions, this strain has proven resilience and vibrant colouration unmatched by wild specimens.
Ideal as a standout centrepiece or to add kinetic brilliance to Goniopora gardens, this coral delivers both aesthetics and movement in any reefscape.
Care & Feeding
Though traditionally considered sensitive, this homegrown variety adapts well under stable reef conditions. Weekly target feeding with coral foods rich in fatty acids (e.g., Reef Roids, Coral Frenzy) encourages extended polyp health and faster growth.
Maintain high water quality, moderate light, and consistent mineral dosing to sustain its glow.
Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 8–10
-
Calcium (Ca): 430–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1300–1400 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 1–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Best positioned in areas with indirect but steady flow to encourage full polyp extension. Avoid high-turbulence zones. Keep distance from aggressive LPS species, and allow room for future expansion.
