Goniopora spp., commonly known as Goniopora or “Flowerpot Coral,” is a breathtaking large-polyp stony coral famed for its long, flowing polyps that resemble a field of delicate flowers in motion. Available in a stunning range of colors—greens, pinks, reds, purples, and metallic rainbow tones—this coral adds dynamic texture and movement to any reef display. Once considered difficult to maintain, modern aquaculture and improved feeding techniques have made Goniopora far more accessible and rewarding for dedicated aquarists.
