Red Alert Goniopora Care

The Red Alert Goniopora is an LPS coral with long stalks, with polyps on the end, that come out of a dome-shaped skeleton. Gonis can be relatively difficult for some depending on manganese and molygdanum levels. Typically the Red Alert Goniopora can be maintained with frequent water changes, but you can dose supplements if needed.

What are the flow requirements for Red Alert Goniopora?

Flow is rather difficult to measure and is more of a described value rather than measured. Red Alert Goniopora need enough flow to to appear as though the stalks are swaying in a gentle breeze. Keep the flow low enough that the Red Alert Goniopora isn't closing nor blown fully in 1 direction.

Where should Red Alert Goniopora be placed in the aquarium?

Based on the lower light and low flow requirements, Red Alert Goniopora are typically placed on the sand bed or lower in the tank.

What are Red Alert Goniopora feeding requirements?

Red Alert Goniopora will eat smaller foods on occasion, especially foods like Goni power, Reef Roids, and Amino Acids. I wouldn't recommend daily feeding, but once or twice a week will improve their success.

What are the Red Alert Goniopora dosing requirements?

Red Alert Goniopora have calcium skeletons, so they do rely on a stable alkalinity and calcium level. Alkalinity levels between 8dKh and 10dKh should all be okay, as long as the calcium level doesn't change more than 0.5dKh in a single day. Standard calcium levels between 350 and 450 ppm is sufficient.

What are the temperature requirements for Red Alert Goniopora?

Gonis prefer average reef tank temperatures between 76 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, with 78 degrees being the average.
