Gonioporas are sensitive LPS corals that thrive in mature systems, and benefit greatly from regular feeding.
Moderate care level
Light: Low to moderate light: 75-150 PAR. Acclimate slowly!
Flow: Gentle moderate indirect flow. Swaying polyps is a good sign, but if the coral has a “windswept” look with tentacles pinned against rocks or it’s own skeleton, it should be moved, or flow should be reduced.
Temperament: Semi-Aggressive, can sting with tentacles, and should be given space. If gonioporas engage in territorial bouts with other LPS, they will likely lose. Their sting is relatively weak, and cannot contend with corals like torches, or galaxias. Do not mix with alveoporas. Can be mixed with most other gonioporas without issue. Watch for any unusual interactions that could indicate stinging
