A deep, solid blood-red flowerpot with intense metallic-red polyps and a purplish-blue center, one of the most recognizable red goni lines in the hobby. The aquacultured ORA reds are among the hardier, more forgiving gonis.
📜 Backstory
An Oceans, Reefs & Aquariums (ORA) aquacultured line, sold most commonly as 'ORA Red Goniopora' and also carried by Cherry Corals as 'ORA Ultra Red Goniopora.' Because it is ORA-farmed, it is a genuine aquacultured line with documented captive propagation over many generations, and ORA notes it is much easier to keep than wild Goniopora.
Keeper tips for this variant
More tolerant than wild gonis but still prefers stable parameters; acclimate from dim toward medium-to-higher light and use moderate flow. Place it with space from neighbors, since it can supercharge stinging tentacles, and feed regularly to maintain pigment.
