For a spray of colors, try the Tri-color Pocillopora. It’s a real beauty - green with shades of pink and purple. It is also known as a cauliflower coral due its growth form….but, honestly, cauliflower never looks this good! This pocillopora likes moderate to high lighting and moderate flow.

 
Under rated, coral with a bad rep due to wild imports spawning in tanks. Older aqua cultured specimens dont do this.

Pretty sure this is a rainbow poc under low nutrient conditions. Mine is deeper in color at 5-10 ppm nitrate but will lighten like this one after a heavy water change. Unfortunately we arent seeing the pinks anymore.

Great coral for beginners. Grows astoundingly fast and not fussy.
