Pocillopora verrucosa (Yellow-Green) is a striking small-sized SPS coral prized for its vivid yellow-green hues and intricate branching structure. This coral adds both colour and complexity to mature reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain vibrant coloration and healthy growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a PAR range of 150-250 are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow helps prevent detritus accumulation and supports optimal polyp extension.
Placement: Position this coral in the upper to middle sections of the aquarium to ensure adequate light exposure and water movement. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent coral warfare.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae; supplemental feeding with planktonic foods such as phytoplankton or specialised coral feeds can promote growth.
Minimum Tank Size: 75 litres (20 gallons) or larger to provide stable water parameters and adequate space.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 15 cm in branching height under optimal conditions.
