(Also known as Flowerpot Coral, Daisy Coral, or Long Tentacle Goniopora)

Overview

The Pom Pom Long Tentacle Hard Coral (Goniopora sp.) is a stunning and dynamic large-polyp stony (LPS) coral, celebrated for its long, flowing tentacles and flower-like polyp structure that gives the appearance of a vibrant underwater bouquet. When fully extended, the coral sways gracefully with the current, resembling soft coral movement while retaining the skeletal structure of an LPS. Colours vary from green, red, pink, purple, yellow, and metallic teal, often with contrasting tips. Though historically considered challenging, modern reef systems with stable parameters make Goniopora an achievable and spectacular addition for aquarists seeking motion, colour, and elegance.

Origin

Native to the Indo-Pacific region, including the Great Barrier Reef, Coral Sea, Fiji, Tonga, Indonesia, and the Red Sea. Commonly found in shallow, protected lagoons and reef slopes, where light is moderate and currents are gentle to moderate.

Feeding

The Pom Pom Coral is photosynthetic, housing zooxanthellae that provide much of its energy. However, Gonioporagreatly benefits from direct feeding to support long-term growth and vibrant colour. Feed 2–3 times per week with:

  • Microplankton or marine snow
  • Rotifers, phytoplankton, and coral plankton blends
  • Specialized coral foods (reef roids, powdered LPS blends)

Target feed gently with a pipette in low flow to prevent food from being blown away.

Lighting

Moderate to high lighting. Provide bright, diffused illumination using LED, T5, or hybrid lighting systems.

  • PAR range: 120–250 ¬µmol/m¬≤/s
  • Acclimate slowly to higher light levels to prevent bleaching.
  • Blue-spectrum lighting enhances polyp fluorescence and tip colouration.
Water Flow

Moderate, indirect flow. Gentle, randomised currents are ideal — strong enough to keep the long tentacles swaying but not so intense that they retract or tear. Avoid direct laminar flow from pumps.

Placement
  • Position on mid to lower rockwork or the substrate where light and flow are moderate.
  • Allow 10–15 cm (4–6 inches) of space around the coral for full polyp extension.
  • Avoid placement near sharp rock edges or aggressive neighbours that may irritate or damage tissue.
  • Stable, nutrient-balanced water promotes longevity and growth.
Tank Mates

Reef safe with caution. Compatible with:

  • Peaceful reef fish (gobies, blennies, clownfish, tangs, wrasses, etc.)
  • Invertebrates such as snails, shrimp, and small hermit crabs
  • Other peaceful LPS and soft corals with sufficient space

Avoid:

  • Aggressive or stinging corals (e.g., Euphyllia, Galaxea, Hydnophora) nearby
  • Butterflyfish and angelfish that may nip at extended polyps
Aggression

Peaceful.Goniopora does not possess strong stinging tentacles but can be irritated by contact with aggressive species. Provide adequate space to prevent accidental damage.

Experience Level

Intermediate to advanced. The Pom Pom Coral requires stable parameters, regular feeding, and moderate flow. Once established, it becomes a hardy and rewarding coral, displaying long-lasting polyp extension and vivid colouration.

Water Parameters
  • Temperature: 24–27°C (75–81°F)
  • pH: 8.1–8.4
  • Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
  • Alkalinity (dKH): 8–10
  • Calcium: 420–450 ppm
  • Magnesium: 1250–1350 ppm
  • Nitrate: 2–10 ppm (slightly elevated levels promote health)
  • Phosphate: 0.02–0.05 ppm
  • Tank Size: Minimum 100 litres (25 gallons); larger systems preferred for long-term stability

Consistent trace elements such as iron and manganese can support long-term health and polyp density.

Reef Compatibility

Reef safe. The Pom Pom Long Tentacle Coral adds remarkable movement, colour, and natural softness to reef aquariums. When given space and stability, it forms large, gently waving colonies that become living centrepieces in mixed or LPS-dominant systems.




Interesting Fact

Goniopora polyps each contain 24 tentacles, giving the coral its signature daisy-like appearance — a trait that distinguishes it from its close relative Alveopora, which has only 12 tentacles per polyp.

THESE THINGS SHED BAD!!!!!!!!!
Color: Pink Strawberries, Size: Regular
These things shed like you wouldn't believe. They're all over my furniture, my floor, my clothes. I'm finding little pink pieces of sock fluff everywhere and it's annoying. I don't think they did that until after I washed them. So if they don't shed on you right away, just wait, it'll most definitely happen. I returned because I won't where them again.

Keeping the crusty heels at bay!
Color: Cotton Gray, Size: Regular
I deal with chronic dry heels that crack if left unmanaged. I bought these in hopes that when I do soak and scrub my heels that I can keep the cracking at bay. These have been a godsend. I wear them every night and my heels are nice and soft. I plan on purchasing more. A couple of things I have noticed, if I wear these during the day, the bottom of my feet do seem to sweat and there is some slipping. I have only washed these are directed (hand washing) and you will want to after a couple washes because it could give a sweaty feet smell. Overall, I highly recommend.

These worked for me!
Color: Original Grey
They worked great. I bought these for cracked sore heels. It took 2-3 weeks but my heels no longer hurt and the cracks have closed and look more like an indention than a crack now. They feel so much better, but I'll probably wear them another week just to be sure they stay healed. They look and feel like regular socks from the outside but only cover the heel with the toe open. Not think but not thick, again like regular socks. They would probably be slippery on a smooth surface the same as socks. The inside feels like rubber or something smooth at the heel. I have washed them once each pair and accidentally dried one pair in the dryer. They still seem to feel the same so I think they're fine. They're pretty inexpensive and had different colors and sizes.
