Neon Tips Goni

About this coral

Neon Tips Goni is an LPS “flowerpot” coral picked out for its long, flowing polyp display. In aquariums, flowerpot corals (often sold under the genus Goniopora) are valued for their constant tentacle movement, making them a standout centerpiece coral when provided with steady conditions and consistent food. Use Neon Tips Goni as a display coral in a reef setup where you can match its general flowerpot care needs—especially moderate light and reliable feeding.

Features:

• Long, flowing polyps that create continuous movement in the aquarium.
• Generally considered a challenging LPS group, benefiting from stable water conditions and consistent husbandry.
• Typically does best with moderate light (too much light can contribute to retraction/bleaching in some cases).
• Water flow should be sufficient to keep the area clean while still allowing effective feeding.
• Regular feeding is commonly described as a key part of goniopora/flowerpot success.
• Tends to perform better when placed where it can extend well without being shaded by stronger, nearby neighbors.
