Pink Floyd Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Pink Floyd Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral for advanced reef aquariums. This WYSIWYG Acro is suited to reef keepers prepared to provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions expected by Acropora. Its care needs make it best matched to established systems with stable daily husbandry.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Strong reef lighting
• Flow: Strong, random and turbulent flow
• Placement: Middle to upper reef areas after acclimation
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but space for growth
• Care Level: Advanced

Lighting

Provide strong reef lighting and acclimate gradually to the intended intensity. Consistent lighting helps this SPS coral settle without abrupt changes.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches all sides of the coral. Avoid low-flow areas where detritus can settle around its branches.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly and allow room to adjust before making further placement changes.

Temperament

Keep reasonable space around it for growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but nearby corals should not crowd its branches or restrict water movement.

Feeding

Rely primarily on lighting for support, with fine coral foods offered optionally. Feed lightly and observe the system’s response.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and watch for changes in polyp extension or tissue condition as the coral acclimates.

Best maintained in a stable, mature reef with attentive SPS-focused care.
