Overview

'Red People Eater' is a Goniopora trade name for red-to-pink tentacles with green or white mouths, named after the monster of an old novelty song. It pairs with the purple-tentacled 'Purple People Eater', and divided pieces circulate with the name attached. Keep it like Goniopora generally under moderate light and gentle flow, feeding fine foods regularly for long-term success. Red fades under strong light, so acclimate from a low position. We register it here as a lineage and do not assert origin.

How to identify

It is told from Purple People Eater by tentacle color, red versus purple. Rainbow Goniopora has no fixed layout, whereas Red People Eater is defined by red tentacles with contrasting mouths. A solid red piece with no contrasting mouth is simply treated as a red Goniopora.
