About Goniopora Green Flowerpot Coral
Goniopora is called flowerpot coral for the long-stemmed polyps that open like a bunch of daisies, each ringed with 24 tentacles. The green form is one of the hardier varieties. It was once considered difficult, but colonies that are fed fine foods several times a week and kept in stable water do well long term.
