Overview

'Rainbow Goniopora' is not a lineage but a grade-like color label for specimens whose tentacle stalks, tips and mouths each show a different color for a multi-colored look. How many colors qualify varies by seller, and two-color pieces are sometimes labeled this way. The common four-tier scale (standard / select / ultra / master) is described on the genus page. Keep it like Goniopora generally under moderate light and gentle flow, feeding fine foods regularly. Color fades under strong light, so start low and observe. We register it here as a color-label lineage.

How to identify

Aussie Gold is a single gold-to-yellow tone, whereas Rainbow shows several colors within one polyp. Red People Eater has a fixed layout of red tentacles with contrasting mouths, while Rainbow has no fixed color layout.

Typical price range
