Goniopora “Short Polyp Rare Red & Orange”

🔥🧡 Goniopora “Short Polyp Rare Red & Orange” – Frag

Goniopora sp. – Compact Polyp Collector Morph With Deep Red & Fiery Orange Tones (Aquarium-Grown Colony Fragment)

🔹 Quick Stats

Care Level: Moderate
Temperament: Semi-aggressive (allow space from other corals)
Colour Form: The “Short Polyp Rare Red & Orange” morph features dense, compact polyps in intense ruby-red hues with bright molten-orange tips.
Unlike standard long-tentacle Gonioporas, this form grows in a tight, dome-like structure, offering vibrant colour and a crisp, textured look.
Under daylight, the coral glows with rich red and copper tones; under actinic lighting, the orange fluorescence ignites with a fiery glow — creating the effect of glowing embers over a crimson field.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–9, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Poritidae
Lighting: Moderate (PAR 80–150)
Water Flow: Gentle to moderate, indirect
Placement: Mid to lower rockwork with open space around the colony

🧬 Overview

The Goniopora “Short Polyp Rare Red & Orange” is a collector-grade morph admired for its intense coloration and compact growth structure.
Our frags are propagated from long-established, aquarium-grown colonies, ensuring:

• stable, ultra-saturated pigmentation

• dense short-polyp growth pattern

• fast adaptation and consistent extension

• sustainable, fully tank-grown origin

This rare short-polyp morph offers the movement and vibrancy of Goniopora, but with a bold, sculptural texture perfect for detail-focused reef aquascapes.

🍽️ Care & Feeding

To maintain vivid colours and polyp density, feed regularly with:

• microplankton and phytoplankton blends

• fine powdered coral foods or amino-enriched reef nutrition

• micro-sized suspended frozen foods

Feed 2–3× per week to support tissue health and enhance pigmentation.
Stable parameters and gentle, rhythmic water flow promote the best long-term results.

📈 Optimal Parameters

📍 Placement

Position in gentle, indirect flow and moderate lighting.
Avoid turbulent jets or shadowed zones.
Allow space between colonies — although short-polyp, it can still extend small sweepers during feeding.
