ASD Banana Goni

About this coral

ASD Banana Goni is an LPS coral sold as a “flowerpot coral,” typically kept in reef aquariums for its upright skeleton base and attractive, flowing polyp appearance. Use it as a centerpiece coral or focal frag on the sandbed or lower rockwork, where its polyps can extend comfortably and be viewed daily. Because only the shop’s common name is provided (no verified scientific name here), the description below follows general guidance for flowerpot-style LPS corals rather than a morph-specific care sheet.

Features:

• Flowerpot growth form that can create a distinctive upright, “fern-like” polyp look
• Polyp extension is part of the appeal—place where you’ll get regular viewing from the tank front
• Generally prefers stable reef conditions and consistent water quality
• Benefits from moderate water movement that can support polyp and suspension-feeding behavior
• Often does best with appropriate lighting for photosynthetic LPS while still having good water flow
• May appreciate supplemental feeding of fine foods in addition to light-driven energy

Specifications:

• Care level: Intermediate (typical for many LPS reef corals)
• Aquarium type: Saltwater reef aquarium
• Lighting (general guidance): Moderate reef lighting (exact intensity depends on your specific setup)
• Water flow (general guidance): Moderate, even flow that helps keep food/waste suspended without blasting the tissue
• Placement (general guidance): Lower-to-mid aquascape where the polyps can extend and receive suitable light and flow
• Temperature: ~24–27°C (75–81°F)
• Salinity: ~1.023–1.026 SG
• Key carbonate chemistry (general guidance): Alkalinity ~7–11 dKH; Calcium ~380–450 ppm; Magnesium ~1250–1350 ppm; pH ~8.1–8.4
