<div class="more_detail"> <p>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.</p> <p>As for the Candy Apple Goni, they are predominantly colored blue on the branch, red on the polyps and yellow on the mouth. This are the water parameters in cultivating Candy Apple Goni:</p> <ul> <li>Calcium: 400 - 450 ppm</li> <li>Alkalinity: 3.2 - 4.8 MEQ/L</li> <li>Phosphates: 0</li> <li>Magnesium: 1200 - 1350</li> <li>Strontium: 8 - 10</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Temperature: </span>76° - 83° F (24° - 28° C)</li> <li><span class="subListHeading1">Salinity / Specific Gravity:</span> 1.023 - 1.025</li> </ul> </div>

<p>The Candy Apple Goni 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.</p>

<p>A mature tank is highly recommended in propagating Candy Apple Goni. They should be set on the middle or bottom part of the tank.</p>

<p>The Candy Apple Goni requires moderate to strong lighting and moderate waterflow.</p>

<p>The Candy Apple Goni is susceptible to mortality caused by nutritional deficiencies. With this, the addition of supplemental nutrition and nutrients is highly recommended.</p>

<p>The Candy Apple Goni can be found in the waters of the Indo-Pacific Ocean, particularly in the Philippines and Indonesia. They are listed as a vulnerable species under Appedix II of the CITES list.</p>

<p>The Candy Apple Goni has an aggressive behaviour and may require adequate spacing in relation to other corals in the tank.</p>

<p>The Candy Apple Goni is purely marine. So, therefore, salinity must be maintained thoroughly at 1.023 to 1.025 s<span class="subListHeading1">pecific gravity.</span></p>

<p>The Candy Apple Goni have long sweeper tantacles and may sting nearby corals.</p>
