Yellow Eyes Raven Goni

About this coral

Yellow Eyes Raven Goni is a flowerpot coral in the Goniopora group (listed as “goniopora” by the shop’s context and similar listings). In the aquarium, it’s valued for its long, flowing polyp display, which helps create a dramatic “moving” look in the water column once it’s settled.

Features:

• Showy, flowing polyp extension typical of flowerpot corals (Goniopora)
• Generally kept with moderate light and gentle, random flow to support a natural, extended display
• Often benefits from regular feeding, since many goniopora polyps capture small food particles from the water column
• Placement matters: target a mid-tank area where light is not overly intense and flow is not blasting
• Best treated as a group with specific husbandry needs rather than a casual, beginner coral

Specifications:

• Coral group: Goniopora (flowerpot coral), LPS
• Care level (group guidance): Often considered challenging in captivity; more demanding than many common beginner corals
• Light (group guidance): Moderate light (avoid sudden transfer to intense lighting)
• Water flow (group guidance): Gentle, indirect, random water movement
• Feeding (group guidance): Regular feeding is commonly recommended; polyps capture drifting particles
• pH (general coral husbandry guidance): Ideal about 8.2–8.6; values between 7.8 and 8.8 are acceptable
