Representative Goniopora (Flowerpot Coral)photo — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A small-polyp ('micro') Australian goni with a bright fluorescent-yellow face, a red mouth, and pink-and-red tentacles. Tidal Gardens considers their captive-grown stock of this one notably hardy and fast-growing for a flowerpot.
📜 Backstory
Propagated and sold by Tidal Gardens (tidalgardens.com), who describe it as very hardy and fast-growing, and also carried by vendors such as Deep Reef. The underlying source is the Australian wild micro-goni color morphs; the specific colony lineage is not individually published. Note some 'micro' gonis are debated as Bernardopora/related genera, but they are traded within the flowerpot Goniopora group.
Keeper tips for this variant
Aussie micro gonis like stable, mature tanks with lower-to-moderate light and gentle flow; place low and feed fine foods frequently. Captive-grown stock tolerates conditions better than fresh imports.
