{"product_id":"pink-flowerpot-coral","title":"Pink Flowerpot Coral","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Pink Flowerpot Coral, or Goniopora, is a captivating LPS coral known for its long, flowing polyps. These corals bring a dynamic presence to many reef aquariums, swaying gently with the water flow. This particular specimen is a lovely pink, adding a soft pop of colour. This piece measures approximately Frag. While some Goniopora can be challenging, many hobbyists find success with careful attention to their needs. Overall, this is a popular choice for reef keepers looking for a coral with good movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coral exhibits numerous small, individual polyps that extend from a hard, stony base. The polyps are tubular and display a vibrant pink colouration, often with contrasting tips or mouths. When fully extended, they create a dense, flower-like appearance, hence the common name. The polyps retract into the skeleton if disturbed, but will re-emerge given a stable environment. Their constant motion adds life and texture to the reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor successful care, Pink Flowerpot Corals need moderate lighting, ideally around 100-200 PAR. They prefer moderate, indirect water flow to ensure food delivery and prevent detritus accumulation without causing polyps to remain retracted. Placement is best on the sand bed or lower rockwork. Feeding is crucial; target feed with fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or zooplankton several times a week, especially in their acclimation phase. Maintain stable water parameters: Calcium 400-440 ppm, Alkalinity 8-9 dKH, and Magnesium 1300-1400 ppm. Provide ample space from other corals as their long polyps can sting neighbours. Acclimation should be slow, using a drip method over several hours, and gradually introduce them to full light.\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":50224962502711,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-H2V2","price":165.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/c5be6b65-9c6c-4b0e-ae5e-e6b4a0ab06c3-_MG_5055.png?v=1790283661","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/pink-flowerpot-coral","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
