🧬 Overview
The Stardust Pearl Goni is a compact Goniopora frag with a soft, glimmering appearance — as if sprinkled with reef glitter. Though small in size, its beauty lies in the delicate interplay of colours and light-reflective surface, making it a perfect choice for nano reefers or those curating contrast zones in larger tanks.
Despite its miniature form, this frag brings ethereal movement and texture that stands out under actinic lighting.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
As with all Gonioporas, regular feeding is recommended to maintain polyp extension and vibrance. Target feed 2–3 times weekly with microfoods such as phytoplankton, reef roids, or rotifers. Its compact size makes it easier to target and monitor feeding response.
Avoid direct flow or sharp lighting transitions. Gentle water movement allows its fine tentacles to sway naturally.
📈 Optimal Parameters
