The Glitter Bomb Goniopora is an eye-catching coral known for its vibrant, glitter-like sparkle and radiant color pattern. This Goniopora variety showcases densely packed polyps with striking hues that often include neon green, vivid pink, purple, and sometimes hints of blue or yellow. The colors appear to be dusted with shimmering accents, giving the coral a “glitter bomb” effect, which is where it gets its name.
The polyps are long and flower-like, extending out in a mesmerizing, swaying motion, resembling a colorful garden of tiny blossoms. When well-cared for, the polyps of this Goniopora give off a glistening effect under the right aquarium lighting, creating an almost iridescent appearance.
In terms of care, the Glitter Bomb Goniopora thrives under moderate lighting and prefers a gentle to moderate water flow that allows its polyps to extend fully without being blasted. Like other Gonioporas, it can be slightly challenging to maintain, requiring stable water parameters and regular feeding with fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialized coral foods.
With the right care and conditions, the Glitter Bomb Goniopora can add an explosion of sparkling color to any reef aquarium, making it a true showpiece that draws attention with its radiant, glittering appearance.
