Pink Floyd Acropora Coral

Pink Floyd Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Pink Floyd Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral with advanced SPS care requirements. This WYSIWYG Acropora coral is suited to established reef systems prepared for strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions. Its care needs align with other advanced Acropora corals, where stability and deliberate acclimation are essential.

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 avoid abrupt light changes. Positioning can be adjusted upward after acclimation when the coral responds well.

Flow

Provide strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches the coral from changing directions. Avoid stagnant areas, as consistent water movement is important for Acropora care.

Placement

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

Temperament

Allow room for growth even though Acropora is generally peaceful. Plan spacing carefully so neighboring corals do not shade it or limit its access to flow.

Feeding

Rely primarily on strong lighting for support, with fine coral foods offered optionally. Keep feeding measured and observe how the reef system responds.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, make changes gradually, and watch for changes in coloration or polyp response as conditions settle.

Best maintained in an established reef with consistent, attentive husbandry.
