WYSIWYG*
Pocillopora meandrina is a great coral for those looking to get into SPS. This can grow quickly and can tolerate a range of lighting and flow, but has been found to grow best in moderate to high lighting (PAR 150-250) with moderate to high flow. It’s growth patterns are upright bushy stalks that are uniform in pattern.
While this one has been aquacultured for many years, it originated from Hawaii in shallow reefs and is always the first coral to appear after a new lava flow! This species is endangered in the wild due to ocean warming and acidification. Our SPS corals are broadcast fed our Nannochloropsis phytoplankton to insure healthy tissue and color.
