🌟🧠 Goniastrea Coral Care Guide (aka Brain Coral or Honeycomb Coral) 🧠🌟

💡 Lighting:

Moderate to high (50–150 PAR) – too much light can bleach, but some color up better with strong blue spectrum 🌞💙

🌊 Flow:

Moderate – enough to keep detritus off but not blasting; too much = tissue recession 🌀🚫

📍 Placement:

Bottom to mid-level – give room to expand and avoid stingers ⚠️🪨

🧪 Water Parameters:

  • Temp: 76–78°F 🌡️

  • Salinity: 1.025

  • pH: 8.1–8.4

  • Alkalinity: 8–9.5 dKH

  • Calcium: 420–450 ppm

  • Magnesium: 1300–1400 ppm

  • Nitrate: 5–15 ppm

  • Phosphate: 0.03–0.08 ppm

🍤 Feeding:

Optional but appreciated – feed meaty foods like reef roids, mysis, or LPS pellets 1–2x/week = faster growth and brighter color 🍽️🌈

⚔️ Aggression:

Semi-aggressive – short sweepers at night, give it buffer space 💢🌌

🚀 Growth Rate:

Slow to moderate – stable parameters = steady expansion 📈🌿

🌟 Tips:

  • Puffy = healthy 💪

  • Keep sand off – use turkey baster if needed 🦃💨

  • Can be fragged but handle with care – slow healer ⚠️🔪

👑 A classic reef builder with mesmerizing skeletal patterns – hardy, colorful, and a great LPS for all levels of reefers! 🧱🌊
