🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful
Colour Form: Pink Sapphire is an ultra high-end Acropora tenuis displaying a blazing neon-pink base paired with razor-sharp sapphire-blue growth tips. The contrast is extremely clean and saturated — true hot pink (not peach, not salmon) combined with icy electric blue axial tips. Under actinic lighting the coral erupts with fluorescence, while under balanced white lighting the structure, colour separation and saturation remain bold and clearly defined.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–8.5, 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
Type: Super Rare · WYSIWYG
🧬 Overview
The Acropora tenuis “Pink Sapphire” is a collector-grade tenuis morph known for its explosive pink and blue colour combination. This is the type of coral normally seen only in high-end SPS collections and elite reef systems, where rare tenuis varieties are prized for their extreme colour saturation and contrast.
The hot pink tissue combined with glowing blue tips creates one of the most visually striking colour combinations found in SPS corals. As the colony develops, new growth tips intensify in sapphire blue while the base maintains its saturated neon pink — producing a vivid, jewel-like effect within the reef.
This coral is designed to be a true centerpiece SPS, even when placed among other premium Acropora.
WYSIWYG:
You will receive the exact coral shown in the photo. Each specimen is individually photographed and selected for colour intensity, tip definition and overall coral health.
Selected for:
• True neon hot-pink base colour
• Electric sapphire-blue growth tips
• High fluorescence under blue spectrum
• Strong polyp extension
• Proven colour stability under reef LED lighting
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Pink Sapphire Tenuis thrives in nutrient-rich SPS systems with strong export and regular feeding.
Recommended feeding 2–3× weekly:
• Amino acid supplements
• Fine planktonic foods (rotifers, copepods)
• SPS blends or reef snow
• Broadcast feeding in mature reef systems
Stable parameters are essential to maintain maximum pink intensity and blue tip definition.
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in high light and strong chaotic flow to maintain colour separation and compact branch formation. Avoid shading and allow open vertical space for upward growth.
Pairs exceptionally well with:
• Rainbow tenuis
• Gold-tip tenuis
• Smooth-skin Acropora
• Deepwater Acropora for texture contrast
• Minimalist SPS-dominant layouts
