Minty Cave Of Wonders Goni

About this coral

Minty Cave Of Wonders Goni is a Goniopora “flowerpot coral” (commonly grouped under LPS corals) prized for its eye-catching, flowing polyp display. In an aquarium, it’s typically used as a centerpiece coral to add movement and texture to the reefscape, with its extended polyps contributing to a natural, living look when light is right.

Features:

• “Flowerpot” style growth with extended, flowing polyps for a dynamic appearance
• Generally suited to stable reef aquariums where conditions don’t swing noticeably
• Often benefits from gentle to moderate water motion that helps keep the feeding surfaces clear
• Uses photosynthesis from its symbiotic algae and may also appreciate planktonic foods for best appearance
• Works well on the side of a rock structure where polyps can extend into the water column
