🧬 Overview
The Blush Prism Microclados represents refined SPS beauty — a highly sought-after Acropora microclados known for its saturated pink hues and sculptural, symmetrical growth. Its thick, tidy branching creates a luminous bush-like colony that seems to glow like moving glass.
Under blue lighting, it reveals intense fluorescence and pearly iridescence, making it a favourite among collectors pursuing premium pastel-coloured SPS. This coral brings elegance and soft luminosity to any reef, balancing stronger colours with its dreamy rose-pink glow.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, though it benefits from occasional fine coral foods (Reef Roids, coral powders, phytoplankton) once per week. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, and essential trace elements (iron, potassium, manganese) to protect its pink saturation and tip fluorescence. Avoid sudden nutrient drops — excessive low-nutrient conditions may lead to colour loss.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 430–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place high on the rockwork with strong, direct lighting and turbulent, alternating flow. Ensure it receives full, unobstructed light from all sides to maintain even saturation from base to tip.
