𧬠Overview
The Royal Blush Acropora is an elegant bicolour SPS frag ideal for collectors who love pastel vibrancy paired with deep, jewel-like tones. Its purple-to-pink gradient develops beautifully under stable SPS conditions, producing a smooth chromatic transition that remains clean and vivid as the coral grows.
This morph stands out both in daylight and under blues β offering a sophisticated, modern SPS colour scheme that complements almost any reef.
π½οΈ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, but deeper colour tones benefit from occasional micro-feeding (Reef Roids, Coral Dust, Phytoplankton). Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, and key trace elements β especially potassium and iron β to preserve the purple bases and enhance the glowing pink tips.
