They are a familiar and enduring presence in many mixed reef aquariums, offering a solid foundation for any collection. This particular specimen displays a captivating toxic green hue throughout its colony. It measures approximately 7cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGoniastrea typically form massive, encrusting, or submassive colonies with polygonal corallites. The septa are usually well-developed and often have fine teeth along their margins. This toxic green variety will show its best colouration under appropriate lighting, providing a rich, deep green that can stand out in a well-lit reef.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaring for Goniastrea is generally straightforward, making them suitable for a range of hobbyists. They prefer moderate lighting, ideally around 100-150 PAR, and moderate, indirect water flow to keep detritus from settling on the colony. Placement on the sand bed or a lower-to-mid rockwork position is usually ideal. While not strictly necessary, target feeding with a quality LPS-specific food a few times a week can enhance growth and vitality. Maintain stable water parameters: Calcium at 400-440 ppm, Alkalinity at 8-10 dKH, and Magnesium at 1250-1350 ppm. Ensure adequate spacing from aggressive corals, as Goniastrea can extend sweeper tentacles at night. Acclimation should be gradual, especially when introducing to new lighting conditions.\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":50224923312183,"sku":"EMA-LPS-20260924-GJLR","price":140.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/ddb59f03-bebd-4ebc-bff2-8e198c51b60c-_MG_5272.png?v=1790277911","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/toxic-green-goniastrea-2","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
