Flower Pot Coral.
A mesmerizing 'flower pot' of long, daisy-like polyps that sway constantly in the flow. Beautiful but demanding — Goniopora has a tough long-term track record and needs stable, mature water, moderate light, and feeding. For the advanced reefkeeper up to the challenge.

Good tank mates
Goniopora is a coral, not a fish, and should be given open space because its long flowing polyps can sting neighboring corals on contact; keep it well separated from other corals and out of reach of aggressive sweeper-tentacle species. It is best kept with reef-safe fish and inverts that will not nip its fleshy polyps, and away from known coral-nippers like some angelfish and butterflyfish.
Good to know
Flower pot corals are famous for being one of the harder LPS corals to keep long-term, and improved care plus aquacultured frags have made them far more successful than the wild colonies that historically wasted away in tanks.
