🧬 Overview
The Flamingo Rose Acropora is an exquisite frag for collectors seeking a true centrepiece among pink-toned SPS. Its elegant, branching structure and fluorescent pigment response make it one of the most striking colour morphs available.
Under actinic lighting, the coral radiates an ethereal pink luminescence — vibrant yet refined — evoking the vivid grace of a flamingo’s plumage. Perfect for adding warmth and contrast to blue-dominant reef layouts.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, but colour intensity and tissue thickness improve with stable trace dosing (especially potassium, iodine, and iron).
Feed occasionally with fine powdered coral foods (e.g., Reef Roids or Coral Dust) to stimulate polyp extension and growth. Maintain pristine, stable SPS parameters for best results.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.01–0.05 ppm |
📍 Placement
Position the frag in upper reef zones under strong, full-spectrum or blue-enhanced lighting. Ensure high, turbulent flow to encourage symmetrical growth and maintain the coral’s glowing pink saturation. Avoid shading from larger SPS colonies.
