Pocillopora eydouxi (Pink) is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its delicate pink coloration and intricate branching structure. This medium-sized specimen is perfect for marine aquarists looking to enhance their reef tanks with a vibrant and hardy SPS coral.
Lighting Requirements: This coral thrives under moderate to high lighting, ideally provided by LED or T5 systems designed for reef aquariums. Ensure gradual acclimation to intense light to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is recommended to keep the coral healthy and free from detritus accumulation. This also aids in nutrient exchange and gas diffusion.
Placement: Position the coral in the mid to upper regions of the tank where it can receive adequate light and flow. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and ensure optimal growth.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its SPS nature, requiring stable water parameters and attentive husbandry.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Pocillopora eydouxi is reef safe with adequate spacing. It can coexist with most reef inhabitants but may exhibit aggressive tendencies through sweeper tentacles if placed too close to other corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral foods.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 15 cm in branching height under optimal conditions.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended for tanks of 75 litres (20 gallons) or larger to maintain stable water quality and provide adequate space.
