LT GlitterBomb Goniopora Care Guide
LT GlitterBomb Goniopora is a flowerpot-type coral that responds best to stable nutrients, moderate light, varied flow, and regular access to fine food.
- Care level
- Moderate
- Suggested PAR
- 75–150
- Water flow
- Moderate, indirect
- Placement
- Lower to middle reef
- Aggression
- Medium
- Feeding
- One to two times weekly
What LT GlitterBomb Goniopora needs
Use varied flow that keeps the polyps moving and prevents debris from settling without pinning the flower-like tips in one direction. Keep nitrate and phosphate detectable and offer fine particulate or powdered coral food one or two times per week.
Stable water targets
Use these as a steady operating range, not numbers to chase from day to day.
- Temperature
- 76–79°F
- Salinity
- 1.025–1.026 SG
- Alkalinity
- 8–9 dKH
- Calcium
- 420–450 ppm
- Magnesium
- 1300–1400 ppm
- Nitrate
- 5–15 ppm
- Phosphate
- 0.03–0.10 ppm
How to acclimate LT GlitterBomb Goniopora
- Inspect the bag and coral on arrival. Photograph any shipping concern before opening the bag, then follow the store's live-arrival instructions.
- Match temperature, inspect the coral under white light, and use a coral dip that is appropriate for the coral group. Do not add shipping water to the display.
- Begin below the final light intensity for the first several days. Move or raise intensity gradually while watching tissue and polyp response.
LT GlitterBomb Goniopora care questions
Where should I place LT GlitterBomb Goniopora?
Start at Lower to middle reef. Leave room for growth and move the coral only after observing its response to the current position.
How much flow does LT GlitterBomb Goniopora need?
Use Moderate, indirect flow. The goal is steady gas exchange and debris removal without folded tissue, exposed skeleton, or polyps held in one direction.
Should I feed LT GlitterBomb Goniopora?
Recommended frequency: One to two times weekly. Feed only when the coral shows a response, use appropriately sized food, and remove uneaten food before it irritates the tissue.
