Here's some information about caring for Pocillopora Frag SPS corals:
Lighting: Pocillopora corals generally require high-intensity lighting, such as metal halide, LED, or T5 fluorescent lighting. Place them in the upper to middle section of the aquarium where they can receive intense lighting without being exposed to direct light.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential for Pocillopora corals. They prefer strong, turbulent water movement to help carry away waste and deliver nutrients. Position them where they can benefit from indirect water flow to prevent tissue damage.
