Packing and shipping are charged per box, not per coral. The $10 packing fee covers the insulated box, heat or ice packs and the time it takes to pack live coral safely; overnight UPS is the carrier cost of getting it out of Key West alive. A box typically holds around five small frags, so adding compatible corals to the same shipment usually will not add another packing or shipping charge. Larger colonies, species that cannot share water, or extreme weather can require a second box. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Florida: $30 overnight livestock shipping. Qualifying Florida livestock orders under 6 lb ship overnight for a flat $30, plus the $10 packing fee. Heavier or mixed shipments use our standard overnight rate. Orders with $349 or more in qualifying livestock ship free.

Livestock ships UPS Overnight on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so nothing sits in a facility over a weekend. Livestock ships to the continental U.S. Alaska needs a shipping quote before you order, and we cannot ship livestock to Hawaii — get in touch first.

Description

Blue and Green Goniopora is offered under the retail name shown in the product title.

This is a Goniopora flowerpot coral. Color and tentacle-length terms in the title are aquarium-trade descriptors, not a verified species identification. Species-level hardiness varies, so this coral should not be treated as universally beginner-friendly.

Care Guide

Lighting: Begin around 75–125 PAR and acclimate gradually. Do not move a newly received coral directly into the brightest part of the aquarium.
Flow: Use low-to-moderate, random or indirect flow. Extended polyps should sway naturally rather than whip, fold over, or remain pinned to one side.
Placement: Use a stable lower-to-middle position with room for full extension. Keep expanded polyps from touching rock edges or neighboring corals.
Feeding: Regular fine feeding is beneficial. Offer a conservatively portioned planktonic or powdered coral food two or three times weekly without allowing uneaten food to accumulate.
Spacing: Treat as semi-aggressive with contact risk. Start with 4–6 inches of open space and increase it if the extended polyps can reach a neighbor.

Keep salinity and alkalinity stable, change one variable at a time, and use sustained polyp extension as feedback. Do not diagnose a closed flowerpot coral from one parameter or one day of behavior alone.

Shipping: Ships by UPS overnight from Key West. Current eligibility and delivery timing are shown at checkout.
