Representative Pocillopora (cauliflower coral)photo — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A pink aquacultured Pocillopora damicornis with full, rounded growth likened to a peony bloom. Branch density shifts with flow, tighter in strong flow and more open in low flow.
📜 Backstory
An aquacultured offering sold as 'Pink Peony Pocillopora' through LiveAquaria's CCGC (Certified Captive Grown Coral) program, propagated at their Wisconsin facility. LiveAquaria states the parent colony was collected in Fiji at about 25-35 feet, then quarantined and propagated; the 'Peony' name is vendor branding for the captive-grown line.
Keeper tips for this variant
Provide moderate-to-high light and strong flow to hold the form and color; LiveAquaria rates it a moderate-care SPS rather than a true beginner coral.
