LCH Fireball Goniopora
LCH Fireball Goni didn’t stop at red. The polyps mix shades of red, orange, and yellow, with flashes of turquoise tucked down at the base that give it a completely different look from the usual red Goni.
It also handles a surprisingly wide range of lighting, from low and moderate all the way into higher light, and appreciates good water flow.

We recommend starting the LCH Fireball Goniopora in the 100 - 200 PAR range.
Flow — Moderate
Moderate
Provide Moderate variable flow that keeps detritus from settling on the Goniopora. Avoid constant direct current from the same direction in favor of random chaotic water movement.
Placement — Lower to Mid level
Placement of your LCH Fireball Goniopora is one of the most important decisions.
This is where you’ll have to take lighting, flow, future growth and nearby corals into consideration.
Since it prefers 100 - 200 PAR range it will need to be mounted Lower to Mid level on your rock work depending on your light intensity.
Allow room for its Solitary growth form, and consider neighboring coral colors and shape. When possible, use contrasting corals such as red next to green, blue next to orange, or yellow next to purple, and mix growth forms such as tall branching corals next to plating or encrusting corals.
