🧬 Overview

The Pink Palette Acropora tenuis is an exquisite SPS coral admired for its beautiful pink colouration, delicate tonal variations, and elegant branching structure. Combining soft pastel shades with richer rose-pink pigmentation, this collector variety offers a sophisticated appearance that makes it particularly attractive in established reef aquariums.

Belonging to the highly desirable Acropora tenuis species, the Pink Palette displays the characteristic branching growth and prominent radial corallites that make tenuis varieties especially popular among SPS collectors.

Its distinctive palette of pink tones creates a beautiful contrast against blue, green, yellow, and purple Acropora varieties, making it an excellent choice for aquarists seeking a refined yet colourful reef display.

As the colony matures, it develops an increasingly intricate branching structure, with numerous growth points contributing to its overall texture and visual complexity.

Under appropriate lighting and stable water conditions, its pink pigmentation can become increasingly pronounced, creating a beautiful interplay of colour across the branches and growth tips.

Selected for:

• • Beautiful pastel and vibrant pink colouration

• • Elegant palette of delicate rose-pink tones

• • Characteristic Acropora tenuis branching structure

• • Exceptional colour contrast in SPS collections

• • Premium WYSIWYG collector frag

🍽️ Care & Feeding

Although primarily photosynthetic, Acropora tenuis can benefit from access to fine suspended foods and naturally occurring plankton, supporting healthy tissue development, pigmentation, and consistent skeletal growth.

Recommended feeding:

• • Reef Roids and fine powdered SPS coral foods

• • Zooplankton-based coral foods

• • Amino acid supplements when appropriate

• • Naturally occurring plankton and suspended organic particles

Maintaining stable alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium concentrations is essential for healthy skeletal development and consistent growth.

Balanced nitrate and phosphate levels are equally important, as excessively low nutrient concentrations may negatively affect tissue health and colouration.

Avoid sudden changes in lighting intensity, temperature, or water chemistry, as Acropora tenuis can be sensitive to rapid environmental fluctuations.

📈 Optimal Parameters

📍 Placement

Position the Pink Palette Acropora tenuis in the middle to upper regions of an established reef aquarium, where it receives moderate to high lighting and strong, alternating water movement.

Random, turbulent flow is particularly important for Acropora corals, helping to prevent detritus accumulation between branches while promoting efficient nutrient exchange and healthy polyp extension.

Avoid placing the frag directly in front of concentrated water jets, and provide sufficient space for its branching structure to develop naturally.

Gradual light acclimatisation is recommended, particularly when introducing the coral into aquariums with powerful LED lighting systems.

Stable water chemistry, balanced nutrient availability, and appropriate lighting will help maintain its beautiful pink pigmentation while encouraging healthy colony development.
