Splattered Toxic Eye Goniastrea Fragment
The Splattered Toxic Eye Goniastrea Fragment is a striking LPS coral featuring contrasting colouration and the distinctive textured, maze-like growth pattern Goniastrea corals are known for. Its vibrant “toxic eye” centres make it an excellent choice for adding intense colour and detail to your reef aquarium.
Goniastrea is a relatively hardy LPS coral and can make a great addition for reef keepers looking for something colourful without the demanding requirements of more sensitive coral species. As it becomes established, it will gradually encrust across the rockwork and develop into an impressive colony.
Care Requirements
-
Care Level: Moderate
-
Lighting: Low to Moderate – approximately 75–150 PAR
-
Water Flow: Moderate, indirect flow
-
Placement: Lower to middle areas of the aquarium
-
Temperament: Semi-aggressive
-
Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional target feeding with small meaty foods or quality LPS coral foods
Allow several centimetres of space between the Goniastrea and neighbouring corals, as it can extend sweeper tentacles and sting nearby livestock.
Maintain stable reef aquarium parameters and avoid sudden changes in lighting, flow or water chemistry for the best colouration and long-term growth.
