| Fast Facts | Also known as Flower Pot Coral, Ball Coral, Daisy Coral and Sunflower Coral, Gonipora is one of the most frequently available corals to the trade. These corals can expand and contract tremendously. Size will vary from smaller when you receive them, to larger after they have adjusted to your aquarium for a period of weeks. Like most Large Polyp Stony Corals, their tissue is very thin. Polyps of Gonipora are not individuals; rather, it is "one piece" covering the skeleton. It is important to consider this when handling and placing these corals in the aquarium, as the tissue is very thin and easily damaged. It requires outstanding water conditions and may benefit from addition of trace elements. It requires medium to bright, indirect light and generally expands best in low to medium water flow. In nature it is typically found in turbid, shallow waters. | ||||||||||||||||
