(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.

Cheap and good
Color: Black, Color: Black
I chose the color black and it gives a really nice look, especially with the multicolor led lights around the keys. It is very easy to clean and you can shut off the keyboard to prevent any mess with the iPad. The magnet is very nice and keeps the keyboard in place. The keyboard doesn’t easily slip or anything so it holds the iPad very well. Only bad thing is that over time the iPad begins to scrape off the pain and it leaves your keyboard with some white spots all over :/ but if looks isn’t something that you care about, this is the keyboard for you. Don’t use it for gaming because there is a delay in functionality when you press a key and then try to use the pad. Also, you have to press the keys a bit harder than the usual keyboard. But for the price? This is a great item! Definitely worth my money

Works great
Color: Purple
Works just pretty good. My only complaint would be that it can turn on the screen when closed. I put it in my backpack and went throughout my school day only to find out later the battery had drained because the screen would light up and stay on. Did not have this issue with other covers. Easy work around is to just do a complete shutoff or maybe change the settings before putting in away. I just had the habit of keeping mine on because of frequent use in back to back classes.
