Pocillopora eydouxi (Pink) is a stunning small-polyped stony coral (SPS) prized for its delicate branching growth and vibrant pink hues. This tiny tank-bred specimen is ideal for marine aquarists looking to cultivate a colourful, healthy reef environment.
Lighting: Requires moderate to high lighting, such as strong LED or T5 lighting, to maintain its vivid colouration and support photosynthesis.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to strong water movement to ensure optimal gas exchange and nutrient delivery, while preventing detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position in the upper to mid-levels of the aquarium where it can receive ample light and flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow room for growth.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Suitable for aquarists with experience in maintaining stable water parameters and SPS coral husbandry.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. Pocillopora eydouxi can coexist peacefully with other corals if given sufficient space to avoid stinging or overgrowth.
Additional Notes: As a tank-bred coral, this specimen offers enhanced acclimation to captive conditions and reduces wild collection impact. Regular monitoring of water quality, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, is essential for healthy growth.
