Goniopora, commonly known as Flowerpot Coral, is a genus of large-polyped stony corals known for their long, flowing tentacles that resemble the petals of a flower. These corals are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their unique appearance and movement. They come in a variety of colors, including greens, pinks, and purples. Goniopora species can be challenging to keep due to their specific feeding and lighting requirements. They host a variety of symbiotic relationships, notably with zooxanthellae, which aid in their nutrition through photosynthesis.
