Bi Color Goniopora Yellow Mouth

Vibrant, exotic, and full of motion — this Bi-Color Goniopora flaunts a dazzling gradient of deep teal to soft lavender tentacles, all centered around a striking neon yellow mouth. It pulses rhythmically with every current, bringing dynamic life to your reefscape. This WYSIWYG aquacultured frag measures roughly 1 inch and is ideal for collectors or aquarists looking to elevate their coral game.

🧼 Goniopora Coral Care Guide
About Goniopora spp.
Goniopora, or Flowerpot Coral, is a beloved LPS known for its long, waving polyps that resemble a blooming field of flowers. Bi-color variants like this one are especially sought after due to their unique pigmentation and high visual impact in reef tanks. Though traditionally considered sensitive, modern aquacultured frags are significantly hardier and more forgiving.

🌍 Origin
Aquacultured from Indo-Pacific lineages with selective propagation for rare coloration and improved resilience.

💡 Lighting Requirements
Moderate lighting will bring out the best of both the bi-color gradient and the glowing yellow mouth. Avoid harsh direct lighting to preserve depth of color.

Low Light: 40–70 PAR
Medium Light: 70–120 PAR
Ideal Placement: mid to lower tank zone with gentle indirect light.

🌊 Water Flow
Gentle, indirect flow is key. Just enough to let the polyps sway and breathe without collapsing. Strong flow can damage the delicate tentacles or cause full retraction.

🍽️ Feeding
Boost growth and intensity with regular feedings. Target-feed 2–3 times a week using powdered coral foods (Reef Roids, Benepets, Coral Dust) or live phytoplankton.

🌱 Propagation
This Goniopora is aquacultured and fully healed. It can be fragged carefully once mature, though best left to experienced reefers due to skeletal density and soft polyp structure.

🔄 Acclimation
Use a slow drip method for 45 minutes. Goniopora corals are sensitive to changes in salinity, alkalinity, and nutrient levels—stable parameters are critical.

⚠️ Reef Tip:
Do not place near aggressive stinging corals. This beauty is peaceful and should be given space to open fully and flow with confidence.

🌈 Why It’s Special:
The yellow mouth at the heart of this coral creates a glowing focal point, while the dual-tone tentacles create movement and color shift as light hits from different angles. A rare morph, perfect for high-end aquascapes or coral collectors.
