Goniopora Purple Death Frag — Deep Purple Flowerpot LPS Coral for Reef Tanks

The Purple Death is one of the most sought-after Goniopora morphs: crowns of deep purple tentacles, almost black under some lighting, that light up under blue LEDs. A dramatic flowerpot coral that cuts against the genus's usual pastels.

Our quick tip on keeping Goniopora corals thriving:

The deepest purple in flowerpot corals

Like every Goniopora, its polyps rise on long stalks crowned with 24 tentacles — versus 12 on Alveopora. Fully open, the frag easily doubles in size and sways non-stop in the current.
