Goniopora placement, flow, light

Placement: Goniopora corals should be placed in the lower to middle part of an aquarium, with ample space for them to grow. You can place them in the sand at the bottom of the tank or in the middle of rocks, but you should securely anchor them down. Goniopora are aggressive and will sting any corals that their long polyps can come in contact with, so do not place them too close to other corals.

 Flow: This species of coral prefers gentle to high amounts of flow. 

Light: The lighting requirements for these corals fall in a moderate range of par, between 100-250 PAR. After the coral has been properly acclimated to a higher range of light, it will experience more vibrant coloration. This takes time and patience but is well worth it.
