Pocillopora verrucosa

[Nemain]

I have wanted to add one of these to my tank for sometime, just wanted to know experiences with them.

High light, high flow, medium growth. In the wild they unfortunately have a relatively short life span (not sure if that is innate or due to predation)

So - thoughts?

Thanks =)

My experiences with pocillopora are that they grow fast, they're hardy, and tolerate different flow conditions. I've got mine at the bottom of my tank in a dim area and they still grow fast.

I don't think you'll have any problems with pocillopora. Have fun!

Agreed. I have 2 types, 4 or 5 colonies and they do well in any area of the tank.
