💚🌸✨ Acropora abrotanoides “Cotton Candy Slime”
SPS Coral – Toxic Green Base with Hot Pink Growth Tips (Cut to Order Frag)
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful
Colour Form: The “Cotton Candy Slime” Abrutanoides displays an electric neon green base crowned with sharp hot-pink growth tips. Under actinic lighting, the green turns radioactive while the pink tips glow in vivid candy-magenta fluorescence. Under white light, the coral reveals a clean chartreuse body with bubblegum-pink highlights — extreme contrast, zero muddiness.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–9, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Acroporidae
Lighting: High (PAR 250–350)
Water Flow: Strong, random and turbulent
Placement: Upper rockwork / high-energy zones
🧬 Overview
The Acropora abrotanoides “Cotton Candy Slime” is a top-tier colour morph combining two of the most sought-after tones in SPS: toxic neon green and hot pink. Abrutanoides already brings insane texture and density — add pink tips and you get pure visual violence.
Branching is compact and spiky, with dense corallites and strong axial points. As the coral grows, the pink tips intensify, creating a constant “candy fire” effect at every growth point.
This piece is offered cut to order, freshly fragged from a mature, colour-stable mother colony with proven long-term performance.
Each cut-to-order frag is selected for:
• True toxic green base saturation (not yellow-green)
• Clean, hot pink tip expression (not pale or peach)
• Strong axial growth points
• Dense, textured branch structure
• Healthy, pest-free tissue
• Proven colour stability under high-end LED systems
• Fast encrusting base and aggressive growth pattern
A brutal SPS for colour collectors who want contrast, punch and rarity in one piece.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Abrutanoides thrives in stable, nutrient-balanced systems with high energy.
Feed 2–3× weekly with:
• Amino acids
• Phytoplankton & zooplankton blends
• Fine coral foods (reef roids, powders)
• Maintain detectable NO₃/PO₄ for peak colour
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in upper rockwork with strong, chaotic flow.
Ensure high light exposure to maintain pink tip expression.
Avoid shaded zones — this morph needs energy to stay loud.
