After decades of being very challenging to keep, all of a sudden over the last few years many more reef aquarists have been able to enjoy living and growing colonies ofGoniopora，相关Bernardpora, and unrelated but similarAlveopora。这一广泛的成功导致了更多的人享受“花盆”珊瑚，并从丹佛到布里斯班发现和赞赏许多品种。
One company which we would consider a trailblazer in the aquaculture of flowerpot corals isGallery Aquaticawhich was the first reef shop to recognize spotted, sparkly coloredGoniopora他们首先将其命名为“ Glitter Gonies”。稳定的新鲜Gonioporacolonies from all over Australia, Gallery Aquatica is renowned all over Australia for their huge selection of flowerpot corals and today we are excited to share with you two more distinctive varieties they have in their collection.
我们想与您分享的这些令人兴奋的花盆中的第一个是轰动一时的“闪光脸” Goni，这是一个惊人的压力Gonioporathat has large bulbous white tentacles surrounding a glittery and striped oral disc and mouth. You might need to look really close to see the tell-tale spotted coloration of some regular Glitter Gonies but the Glitter Face has an appearance that will catch your eye from across the room.
The large striking tentacles may resemble andAlveopora乍一看，但超过12个触角证实这确实是一个真实的Alveoporawith closer ties toPorites比蒙蒂托拉。The Glitter Face is a species that has noticeably shorter polyps that will get longer as the colony matures, but they will remain quite a bit shorter than other flowerpots with very long, flowing polyp stalks.
The other exciting new strain of flowerpot coral that Gallery Aquatica has been working on is being called the Galaxy Goni and it is essentially a form of Glitter Goni with fewer and much larger spots, mostly on the mouth and oral disc. There is probably a gradient of speckling from the fine spotted Glitter Gonies to the larger spotted Galaxy Gonies but there’s no question that these beautiful corals deserve special recognition among the flowerpot coral collectors.
Last but not least, the Glitter Goni trait has been observed in a wide range of color forms from red to green so it was only a matter of time until someone came across Rainbow Glitter Goni as we see pictured below. This sensational piece of Rainbow Glitter Goni has an even distribution of small, iridescent spots throughout the colony that help to accent the yellow base of the tentacles that gradually turns pink towards the end of the polyps with a subtle green mouth and blue tentacles.
花盆和舞者是一群令人难以置信的珊瑚，在礁石水族馆的大部分历史上都提出了礁石水族馆的挑战。通过更好地了解水化学和更均衡的营养礁，最终能够提供Goniopora他们应得的关注以及我们对花盆珊瑚的欣赏只会增长，闪光，闪光的脸和星系goni菌株可能是我们将来可能会遇到的许多新的令人兴奋的菌株和颜色变体中的第一个，毫无疑问，毫无疑问画廊Aquatica将继续成为这些发现的先锋队的一部分。
