Overview
The Venom Halo Goni is a striking Goniopora morph that pairs electrifying yellow stems with rich, shimmering purple heads. This rare contrast gives the coral a vivid “radioactive” glow that stands out dramatically in any aquascape.
Perfect for hobbyists seeking a colourful, rhythmic coral with a modern aesthetic, this morph brings a powerful visual punch to LPS-dominated sections of the reef.
Care & Feeding
Requires stable parameters and moderate lighting to maintain colour vibrancy. Target feeding 2–3 times per week with reef roids, cyclopeeze, or marine snow enhances tissue thickness and polyp extension. Supplements with manganese, iron, and iodine are strongly recommended.
Avoid areas with high turbulence or overly intense light to prevent tissue retraction.
Optimal Parameters
-
Alkalinity (dKH): 7–9
-
Calcium (Ca): 420–460 ppm
-
Magnesium (Mg): 1280–1380 ppm
-
Nitrate (NO₃): 2–10 ppm
-
Phosphate (PO₄): 0.01–0.05 ppm
Placement
Ideal for mid-lower reef zones with moderate light and soft indirect current. Leave buffer space around the colony to allow full expansion and avoid contact with aggressive neighbours.
