Representative Goniopora (Flowerpot Coral)photo — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A striking goni with red/pink polyp bodies and glowing gold-orange tips, sometimes traded as 'Gold Inferno.' The fiery tip-to-body contrast is its signature, looking electric under blues.
📜 Backstory
A widely-traded named morph (often an Indo import) carried by vendors such as ReefNation, Corals.com and several UK/EU shops (CoralVault, OGO Corals, Royal Reef). Because many vendors and hobbyists trade it, the exact original lineage is debated; origin is a wild-collected red-and-gold colored colony.
Keeper tips for this variant
Lower-to-moderate PAR and low-to-medium flow bring out the tip color; place it low-to-mid and feed regularly to hold the inferno coloration. Don't crowd it, as it can send out night-time sweepers.
