(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 are very thick pillows.
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
Exactly as advertised. They are very firm and very thick. They're too thick for me to be able to use as bed pillows. However, they seem to work pretty well as cushions in my papasan chair on top of its normal cushion also work very well as decorative pillows. I'm still giving them four stars because they're exactly as advertised and they seem well made. My only complaint is that they're just too thick. And that's definitely not the fault of the pillows or the pillow maker.

A product that will make a difference!
Color: White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These king-size pillows are incredibly comfortable and supportive. They are soft enough to feel luxurious, yet they provide great support for my head and neck throughout the night. The king size is perfect for a larger bed and gives the bed a full, hotel-like appearance. The pillows keep their shape well and fluff up nicely after use. I've been sleeping much better since getting them and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality, comfortable pillows.

Soft...but fluffy and tall
Color: White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
I've only had these pillows for about a week. They are a great quality pillow. The cover is soft and seems well made. My only complaint is that they are VERY full pillows. If you're tall with broader shoulders, you'll probably love them. If you're shorter with a smaller frame you will probably feel like your head is too high and your neck at a weird angle (my problem). There seemed to be mixed reviews about softness....I would consider these a nice medium pillow. Soft filling but firm enough that your head doesn't sink to the bed. Definitely NOT a down-like pillow, so if that's what you're looking for, this is not for you.
