Species: Pocillopora spp.
Coral Type: Moderate SPS
Fallout Pocillopora is a small polyp stony coral known for its striking coloration, often featuring a blend of green, pink, and purple hues across its branching structures. The coral forms compact, bushy colonies with tightly packed branches, giving it a textured, dynamic appearance. Polyps extend slightly during the day, enhancing its vibrant colors and creating subtle movement in the aquarium. Under actinic or blue-spectrum reef lighting, the fluorescent pigments intensify, making Fallout Pocillopora a bold addition to SPS reef tanks.
Coral Type: Moderate SPS
Lighting: Moderate to High lighting requirements (approximately 150–250 PAR)
Flow Rate: Moderate to High; indirect turbulence promotes polyp extension and prevents detritus buildup
Food Requirements: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae; occasional target feeding with fine coral foods such as ReefRoids or Benereef enhances growth and coloration
Aggression: Low toward neighboring corals, but provide space to prevent shading or overgrowth
