Daisy Poly Coral
Daisy’s, Goniopora, also known as The Flower Pot Coral, look much like a ball or cluster of potted flowers. They are aggressive and will sting nearby corals. It is not wise to have more than one species of Goniopora in the same tank since that species will release a bio-active chemical that is toxic to other species of Goniopora. They require the addition of iodine and other trace elements to the water. They will grow rapidly in the established reef aquarium by encrusting over adjacent rock work or even other corals.

The coral arrived quickly and looks beautiful in my tank. It has started to grow and encrust the rockwork nicely. I feed it brine shrimp daily and keep iodine levels stable. It’s a striking addition to the reef.

I was cautious about adding it to my tank due to the stinging nature. After a few weeks, it’s thriving and has formed a nice cluster. I now keep only one Goniopora to avoid chemical conflicts.

This coral is vibrant and grows fast. I added iodine supplements as recommended and it has expanded well. It’s definitely a showstopper in my reef setup.
