Care
Pocillopora is a fast-growing, hardy SPS and a good first branching stony coral. Give it strong flow and steady light. It readily drops polyp bails that settle and grow elsewhere in the tank.
Acclimation
Float the sealed bag for 15 minutes to equalise temperature, then drip acclimate for 30–45 minutes before placing. Start the coral low in the tank and move it up over a week or two if it wants more light. A freshwater or iodine dip before it goes in is cheap insurance against hitchhikers.
Photographed under blue/actinic aquarium lighting, which is how most reef tanks are viewed. Colours will look different under white light.
