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 Acro is suited to established reef systems that can provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions Acropora corals require. Plan its position carefully and allow time for acclimation before increasing exposure.

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 gradual acclimation period. Start with a more protected exposure if needed, then adjust placement as the coral responds to the system’s established lighting.

Flow

Provide strong, random, turbulent flow that keeps water moving around the branches. Avoid stagnant zones or a single constant blast directed at one area.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after acclimation. Secure the frag where it receives strong light and varied circulation without being shaded by nearby growth.

Temperament

Allow room for future growth. Acropora is generally peaceful, but spacing helps prevent contact with neighboring corals and preserves light and flow around its branches.

Feeding

Rely primarily on strong lighting for support. Fine coral foods can be offered optionally when appropriate for the system’s established feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and watch the coral’s response after any change to flow, placement, lighting, or maintenance practices.

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