{"product_id":"flowerpot-coral","title":"Flowerpot Coral","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlowerpot corals, belonging to the genus Goniopora or Alveopora, are iconic large polyp stony corals celebrated for their dynamic movement and lush floral appearance. They have become staple additions for reef keepers seeking continuous motion and rich texture across the aquascape. This specimen is mounted as a frag and ready to settle into an established marine aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen fully expanded, the coral extends long, delicate stalks crowned with individual multi-tentacled polyps that resemble a blooming bouquet. The polyps sway with the water movement and will retract tightly against the stony skeleton when disturbed or during the dark cycle. Its colouration presents a classic, healthy appearance typical of the species, displaying clean tones that brighten under blue-spectrum lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor general care, this species prospers best under moderate lighting with a PAR range between 75 and 150, paired with gentle to moderate indirect flow that keeps the polyps undulating without folding them over. Position it on the sandbed or along the lower rockwork to prevent tissue damage from excessive current. Target feeding with fine microplankton, liquid coral diets, or powdered foods once or twice a week significantly supports vitality. Maintain stable water chemistry with alkalinity at 8 to 9 dKH, calcium between 420 and 440 ppm, and magnesium around 1300 to 1350 ppm. Provide adequate clearance from aggressive stinging corals, and acclimate gradually to your lighting and water parameters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that colours can look slightly different in person than in photos, depending on your lighting and screen, and the size given is an approximate guide measured at the time of listing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67653940314167,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20261022-RGN9","price":135.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/63520e38-45ee-4188-b8ca-bc6a9b31c5d8-14-_MG_5412.jpg?v=1792693410","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/flowerpot-coral","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
