Pocillopora damicornis (Pink)

Pocillopora damicornis (Pink) is a hardy small-polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its compact, branching growth and vibrant pink coloration. Colonies develop dense, bushy branches covered with small, fuzzy polyps that extend during the day, giving the coral a soft appearance. Under blue or actinic lighting, the pink coloration often becomes even more intense, making it a beautiful focal point in SPS-dominated reef aquariums. Its relatively fast growth and resilience make it one of the more forgiving SPS corals.

Care in Aquariums:
• Lighting: Moderate to high
• Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent flow
• Placement: Mid to upper rockwork with ample space for growth
• Feeding: Primarily photosynthetic but benefits from occasional phytoplankton or fine particulate coral foods
