ASD Wannabe Glitter Goni

About this coral

ASD Wannabe Glitter Goni is a flowerpot coral (typically kept as a Goniopora-type LPS coral) sold for aquarium display, valued for its distinctive, flowing polyp look. In practical terms, it’s a centerpiece coral that helps add movement and texture to the reef—especially when placed where its polyps can extend comfortably and where the water movement supports healthy feeding and gas exchange.

Features:

• Flowerpot-style growth with extended, flowing polyps for a natural, “live” display
• Best suited to aquariums that can maintain stable water quality for long-term LPS health
• Requires water movement that supports polyp extension without blasting the coral directly
• Benefits from access to fine foods and/or dissolved nutrients common in mature reef systems
• An aquascape mid-to-lower placement often works well to balance light and flow

Specifications:

• Care level: Moderate (LPS reef coral; generally benefits from stable, well-established conditions)
• Lighting: Moderate reef lighting (aim for steady, not overly intense light)
• Water flow: Moderate, indirect flow to encourage healthy polyp movement
• Placement: Reef rock with secure attachment; typically mid-to-lower in the tank for balanced light and flow
• Diet / feeding: Captures fine suspended foods and can benefit from targeted feeding of appropriately sized particulate/fine foods
• Temperature: Typical tropical reef range: 24–27°C (75–81°F)
• pH: Typical reef range: about 8.1–8.4
• Salinity: Typical marine reef range: about 1.023–1.026 SG
• Alkalinity: Typical reef range: about 7–11 dKH
• Calcium: Typical reef range: about 380–450 ppm
• Magnesium: Typical reef range: about 1,250–1,350 ppm
