Pink Floyd Acropora Coral

Pink Floyd Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Pink Floyd Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral for established reef systems. This WYSIWYG Acropora coral is suited to advanced reef keepers who can provide strong lighting, turbulent flow, and consistently stable conditions. Its SPS care needs make careful acclimation and regular observation important from placement onward.

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. Gradually introducing the coral to its final intensity helps avoid abrupt lighting changes while supporting its light-driven needs.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches the branches from changing directions. Avoid low-flow or stagnant areas where detritus can settle around the coral.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly where it receives strong light and varied flow without being shaded by surrounding corals.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but leave room for future growth. Plan spacing carefully so expanding branches do not crowd neighboring corals or reduce their access to light and flow.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides primary support. Fine coral foods may be offered optionally, while avoiding excess feeding that could disrupt nutrient stability.

General Care

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

Best maintained in a stable, mature reef with consistent husbandry.
