Indo Cultured Neon Lights Goni

About this coral

Indo Cultured Neon Lights Goni is a captive-cultured “goni” from the LPS flowerpot-coral group (Goniopora). It’s a stony coral known for long, flowing polyps that sway like a moving display in reef aquariums. This coral is typically used as a focal LPS piece where you can watch full polyp extension and enjoy its constant motion.

Features:

• Long, flowing flowerpot polyps for eye-catching movement in the aquarium
• Generally suited to an LPS-focused reef because it responds well to stable conditions and consistent husbandry
• Appreciates moderate lighting and indirect, varied flow that keeps polyps swaying rather than blasting
• Best placed to allow complete polyp extension and to avoid tissue contact with neighboring corals
• Benefits from fine particulate coral foods (rather than only relying on light) to support feeding needs
• For best results, acclimate gradually and avoid frequent changes to lighting/flow/placement

Specifications:

• Coral group: Flowerpot coral (Goniopora) — LPS
• Care level (general guidance): Intermediate
• Lighting (general guidance): Moderate; approximately 80–150 PAR is a practical starting range
• Water flow (general guidance): Low to moderate, indirect/varied; aim for gentle swaying
• Placement (general guidance): Lower to middle reef on stable rockwork (or a secure sandbed position); allow space for extension
• Feeding (general guidance): Fine particulate coral food once or twice weekly
• Temperature (general guidance): 76–79°F
• Specific gravity / salinity (general guidance): 1.025–1.026 (≈35 ppt as a common coral-aquarium target)
• pH (general guidance): About 8.1–8.3
• Alkalinity (general guidance): Approximately 8–9 dKH
• Calcium (general guidance): Approximately 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium (general guidance): Approximately 1,300–1,450 ppm
• Nitrate + phosphate (general guidance): Nitrate roughly 5–20 ppm; phosphate roughly 0.03–0.10 ppm (use stable, established values)
