Stunning Goniopora Minor: A Captivating Addition to Your Reef

Bring the vibrant beauty of the ocean’s depths into your home with the Goniopora Minor, a truly captivating marine invertebrate.

Overview

The Goniopora Minor, also known as the “Constellation” due to its unique polyp pattern, is a striking coral known for its daisy-like polyps that extend outwards, creating a mesmerizing, blooming effect. Typically exhibiting brown or green coloration, its oral discs and tentacle tips often feature distinct, contrasting hues, adding to its visual appeal. This LPS coral thrives in stable reef environments, requiring consistent care to maintain its vibrant appearance and health.

Care Level

Caring for the Goniopora Minor is considered moderate to advanced. While beautiful, this coral can be sensitive to changes in water parameters and requires a stable, mature reef aquarium. It is not aggressive but can sting with its long tentacles, so adequate spacing is necessary.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended for a Goniopora Minor. Maintain stable water parameters with a temperature range of 24-27°C (75-80°F), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and salinity of 1.023-1.025. Moderate to high water flow is beneficial, but direct flow should be avoided to prevent tissue damage.

Diet

Goniopora Minor benefits from regular supplemental feeding. Offer small particle foods such as phytoplankton, zooplankton, or specialized coral foods 1-3 times per week. Small, frequent feedings are preferred over overfeeding.
