General info about Radical Red Goni
In general, corals coming from the genus Goniopora have numerous corallites that are walled invidually. Each corallite has a polyp that is usually exposed and extended. Their polyps are usually long, has a daisy-like tips each having 24 tentacles and sways like a flower tube.
As for the Radical Red Goniopora, they are predominantly colored red with orange polyp and pink mouth. This are the water parameters in cultivating Radical Red Goniopora:
- Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm
- Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.8 MEQ/L
- Phosphates: 0
- Magnesium: 1200 - 1350
- Strontium: 8 - 10
- Temperature: 76° - 83° F (24° - 28° C)
- Salinity / Specific Gravity: 1.023 - 1.025
Radical Red Goni Diet & Nutrition
The Radical Red Goniopora get its primary nutrition from the symbiotic zooxanthellae living within its tissue. But on top of this, we still recommend you do supplemental feeding by adding mysis and brine shrimp. Further, the additional of dissolved organics is highly recommended.

How to Acclimate Radical Red Goni
The Radical Red Goniopora is purely marine. So, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 specific gravity.
Stinging Tentacles on Radical Red Goni
The Radical Red Goniopora have long sweeper tantacles and may sting nearby corals.
