Justin Credabel's Gonipowder
Justin Credabel's Gonipowder
Engineered for Goniopora. Perfect for All Filter Feeders.
Historically, Goniopora and Alveopora species (often called Flowerpot Corals) were notoriously difficult to keep alive long-term in home aquariums due to their strict nutritional demands. Developed by renowned coral expert Justin Credabel, GonioPower revolutionized flowerpot coral care.
GonioPower is a highly concentrated, advanced blend of dried zooplankton specifically engineered to match the exact polyp mouth sizes and dietary preferences of suspension-feeding marine invertebrates. It provides the essential proteins, fatty acids, and biological pigments necessary to promote rapid tissue growth, vibrant polyp extension, and long-term health in your reef.
Key Features & Benefits
Tailored Micro-Particle Size: Formulated specifically to trigger a aggressive feeding response in notoriously picky Goniopora and Alveopora spp.
Nutrient-Dense Profile: Naturally rich in essential vitamins, trace elements, amino acids, and vital marine lipids.
Versatile Filter Food: While designed for flowerpot corals, it makes an exceptional broadcast or target food for all filter-feeders, including soft corals, LPS/NPS stony corals, anemones, seafans, zoanthids, clams, and feather duster worms.
Enhances Natural Coloration: Packed with natural carotenoid pigments that help enhance and maintain the intense pinks, reds, yellows, and greens of your prized coral morphs.

Feeding & Preparation Instructions
To get the most out of GonioPower and avoid degrading your aquarium’s water quality, utilize the targeted drop-feeding method:
The Mix: In a small container, mix 2 parts seawater to 1 part GonioPower by volume. Stir thoroughly until it forms a uniform, liquid slurry.
Kill the Flow: Temporarily turn off your aquarium's wavemakers and return pumps. The food works best in completely stagnant water so the micro-particles can settle gently over the polyps.
Target Feed: Using a target feeder (like a syringe, turkey baster, or Julian’s Thing®), gently puff the mixture directly over the extended coral polyps.
The Feeding Window: Allow the corals to feed undisturbed for 20 minutes.
Resume Flow: Turn your circulation pumps back on to wash away any remaining uneaten food into your mechanical filtration system.
📈 Dosing Frequency: Can be fed anywhere from daily to weekly depending on your tank's bio-load. Do not exceed a maximum daily usage of \frac{1}{4} tsp per 12 gallons of total water volume.
❄️ Storage Note: Keep the container tightly sealed and refrigerate after opening to preserve lipid stability and maximize freshness.
