Good circulation helps prevent detritus from collecting between the branches and encourages healthy polyp extension. Place the coral on stable mid to upper rockwork with sufficient room for continued branching growth. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, temperature, nitrate, and phosphate levels. Pocillopora is primarily photosynthetic, but its small polyps can capture suspended plankton and fine particulate foods. Supplemental feeding is optional in a mature reef aquarium. Consistent water chemistry is particularly important for healthy calcification, growth, and coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacific East Aquaculture, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895325917417,"sku":"U25 S1714","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2133\/7655\/files\/pink-pocillopora-sps-under-25-pea-F-S1714.jpg?v=1789693607","url":"https:\/\/pacificeastaquaculture.com\/products\/pink-pocillopora-under-25-pea-f-s1714","provider":"Pacific East Aquaculture","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
