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 WYSIWYG Acropora is suited to established reef systems that can provide strong lighting, energetic water movement, and consistent conditions. Its care needs match those of an advanced SPS coral, with careful acclimation and ongoing observation important.

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 it. Begin with a more sheltered light exposure, then adjust placement as the coral responds to the system’s established lighting.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches all sides of the coral. Varied movement helps prevent detritus from settling while avoiding a single constant blast.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag where it receives strong light and turbulent flow, with room to grow.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but allow space for growth and avoid placing neighboring corals too close. Leave clearance for maintenance and to prevent future contact as branches develop.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides primary support. Fine coral foods may be offered optionally, but avoid overfeeding and maintain stable nutrient conditions.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, make changes gradually, and watch for changes in color or polyp extension as the coral settles into its placement.

Best maintained in a stable, established reef with attentive SPS care.
