Pink Floyd Acropora Coral

Pink Floyd Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Pink Floyd Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral with advanced care requirements. This SPS coral is suited to established reef systems that can provide strong lighting, turbulent water movement, and consistent chemistry. Its care needs center on stability and gradual acclimation rather than rapid adjustments.

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 after a measured acclimation period. Start with lower exposure when introducing it, then adjust placement carefully as it settles into the aquarium’s lighting conditions.

Flow

Provide strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches the branches from changing directions. Avoid low-flow or stagnant areas where detritus can settle and water movement remains limited.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas once acclimated to lighting and flow. Secure the frag firmly and make changes gradually rather than moving it repeatedly.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but leave room for future growth and maintain separation from neighboring corals. Thoughtful spacing helps prevent contact as branches develop within the reef structure.

Feeding

It is primarily supported by light. Fine coral foods may be offered optionally, with feeding kept consistent with the system’s overall nutrient management.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, watch for changes in polyp response or coloration, and address any husbandry adjustments gradually in this advanced-care SPS coral.

Best maintained in a stable, established reef with deliberate husbandry.
