Enchanted Tips Goni

About this coral

Enchanted Tips Goni is an LPS “flowerpot” type coral sold under the shop name “Enchanted Tips Goni,” described as having flowing polyps. In most aquarium trade contexts, this group is associated with Goniopora-style flowerpot corals (group-level care guidance), which are appreciated for their long, extended polyp appearance. In practice, this coral is chosen for display in a reef tank where you can provide stable conditions and appropriate placement so the polyps can extend reliably.

Features:

• Flowing, flower-like polyp display typical of flowerpot-style LPS when conditions are suitable.
• Generally best kept at low placement in the aquarium.
• Prefers moderate water flow rather than direct blasting.
• Give it enough spacing from nearby corals, as some sources note it may show reduced/shortened polyp extension when kept near certain other LPS types.
• Often treated as a more challenging LPS group in reef-keeping (research-based “advanced” care classification).

Specifications:

• Coral group (verified category basis): Flowerpot-style LPS (Goniopora group-level guidance)
• Care level (group guidance): Advanced
• Light (group guidance): Not specifically quantified on the sources available; positioned as suitable for low placement
• Water flow (group guidance): Moderate
• Placement (group guidance): Low in the tank
• Neighboring-coral note (group guidance): Some guidance indicates polyp extension can be affected when kept near certain other LPS types
