Blue Snake Eye Goniopora Colony – Aquacultured LPS Coral | coralSLover®
Common name: Blue Snake Eye Goniopora
Scientific name: Goniopora sp.
Coral type: Large Polyp Stony (LPS) Coral
Classification: Premium LPS Coral
Why It’s This Classification:
Blue Snake Eye Goniopora is considered a premium LPS coral due to its distinctive coloration, long polyp extension, and strong visual impact. While Goniopora require stable reef conditions and proper placement, aquacultured specimens like this strain demonstrate improved adaptability and long-term success compared to wild-collected corals.
The Blue Snake Eye Goniopora Colony is a visually striking coral characterized by extended, flower-like polyps with soft blue to teal tentacles and contrasting neon green oral centers, often described as “snake eye” markings. When fully extended, the polyps sway gracefully in the current, creating constant movement and a lush, full appearance that adds life and dimension to reef aquariums.
Under moderate to blue-biased reef lighting, the blue tones intensify while the green centers remain vivid, producing a high-contrast, eye-catching display. This coral can expand several times beyond its skeletal base, so generous spacing is essential to allow full extension and prevent contact with nearby corals.
Goniopora species are naturally found in lagoonal and reef-slope environments throughout the Indo-Pacific, often in areas with moderate flow and nutrient availability. In aquariums, they perform best under moderate lighting and gentle, indirect water movement that allows polyps to move freely without being forced in one direction.
All Blue Snake Eye Goniopora corals offered by coralSLover® are fully aquacultured and grown long-term in controlled, land-based systems. Each specimen is pest-free, well-established, and conditioned for aquarium life, ensuring greater resilience and sustainability with no wild collection at any stage.
Placement:
Lower to mid areas of the aquarium
Allow ample space for full polyp extension
Moderate, indirect flow
Great For:
Reef keepers seeking flowing, flower-like corals
LPS-focused and mixed reef aquariums
Collectors looking for premium Goniopora varieties
Sustainability-focused reef systems
