Like other corals, Goniopora/Bernardpora corals also have specific requirements for successful aquarium care. They generally require moderate to high light levels and should be placed in water with stable parameters and good water quality. Regular feeding with plankton or other small particles is also important to meet their nutritional needs.

Keeping Bernardpora corals can be challenging, as they are sensitive to changes in water conditions and are susceptible to certain stressors. Therefore, they are often considered advanced coral species and require proper care and attention to thrive in an aquarium.
