  Pocillopora damicornus

  Purchased January 16th, 2000, this Pocillopora damicornus coral has very fine, hair-like polyps that give it a fuzzy appearance. It has shown significant growth over time, growing wider rather than taller, and has traveled through multiple hands before reaching the author's tank.

  Pocillopora sp.

  This Pocillopora sp. coral was about an inch tall after 3 months of growth and showed significant development, including a slight green hue in the polyps. After 13 months, it demonstrated very impressive growth rates while remaining low in the tank just above the sand bed.

  Pocillopora sp. Hitch Hiker

  This unexpected Pocillopora sp. hitchhiker appeared in the tank without being deliberately added. Starting at about 1 inch long and 3/4 inch tall, it showed significant size increase and significant color changes over three months of growth.
