🧬 Overview
The Goniopora “Red Inferno” is a stunning collector-grade specimen renowned for its intense red colouration and mesmerizing polyp movement. With hundreds of extended flower-like polyps swaying gracefully in the current, this coral creates one of the most dynamic and captivating displays available in a reef aquarium.
Its vibrant crimson tones are complemented by fiery orange accents and fluorescent centres, producing exceptional visual depth under both daylight and blue-spectrum reef lighting. As the colony matures, the dense field of flowing polyps forms a living carpet of colour and motion that quickly becomes the focal point of the aquarium.
Modern reefkeeping techniques have transformed Goniopora from a notoriously difficult coral into a highly rewarding species when provided with stable water chemistry, appropriate flow, and regular nutrition.
Selected for:
• Intense deep-red collector colouration
• Exceptional polyp extension
• Mesmerizing movement in flow
• Strong fluorescence under actinic lighting
• Premium WYSIWYG display colony
🍽️ Care & Feeding
While highly photosynthetic, Goniopora benefit significantly from regular feeding.
Recommended feeding:
• Fine zooplankton foods
• Reef roids and coral powders
• Phytoplankton
• Amino acid supplements
Regular feeding often results in improved extension, faster growth, and enhanced colour development.
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in an area with moderate, indirect flow where the polyps can move freely without being blasted by direct currents. Stable nutrient levels and consistent water quality are key to achieving long-term success and maximum extension.
