Add vibrant green color and dense branching growth to your reef with the ACI Cultured Fuzzy Green Pocillopora Coral. This SPS coral develops a compact branching structure covered in small polyps that give the colony its characteristic fuzzy appearance when fully extended.

Pocillopora is one of the more approachable SPS corals and can be a great choice for reef keepers looking to add branching SPS growth without jumping immediately into more demanding varieties.

This listing is for one Small ACI Cultured Fuzzy Green Pocillopora Coral frag.

Placement & Growth

Place Fuzzy Green Pocillopora on stable rockwork where it has access to strong lighting and good water movement.

As the coral becomes established, it develops a dense branching structure that can become an impressive centerpiece within an SPS or mixed reef.

Leave adequate room between the Pocillopora and neighboring corals to accommodate future growth and reduce competition.

Lighting & Water Flow

Provide medium to high reef lighting.

Medium to high, varied water movement helps keep debris from accumulating between the coral's branches while providing the circulation SPS corals need.

When introducing the coral to a higher-light aquarium, gradual light acclimation is recommended.

Feeding & Nutrition

Fuzzy Green Pocillopora receives much of its nutritional needs through photosynthesis but can also benefit from appropriately sized suspended foods and nutrients available within a healthy reef aquarium.

Direct feeding is generally not necessary.

Consistent alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, and nutrient levels are particularly important for healthy skeletal growth and coloration.

Recommended Water Parameters

Temperature: 75–80°F
Specific Gravity: 1.023–1.026
pH: 8.1–8.4
Alkalinity: 8–12 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Magnesium: 1250–1400 ppm

For SPS corals, stability is especially important, particularly with alkalinity and salinity.
