✨🌸🪸 Acropora sp. “Pink & Brown Glitter” – Frag
Frag Specimen – Shimmering Polyps SPS
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires spacing from neighbouring SPS)
Colour Form: This Acropora displays a warm blend of pink and earthy brown tones across its branches, enhanced by fine, shimmering polyps that create a subtle “glitter” effect. Under actinic lighting, the polyps catch the light with delicate fluorescence, producing a sparkling appearance across the coral surface. Under balanced white lighting, the coral reveals soft rose, tan and caramel tones with reflective highlights that give depth and texture.
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 250–400)
Water Flow: High, turbulent flow
Placement: Upper reef
Type: Frag
🧬 Overview
The Acropora “Pink & Brown Glitter” is a refined SPS coral that stands out through texture and light interaction rather than aggressive coloration. Its shimmering polyp extension creates a dynamic visual effect, especially under reef LED lighting where the “glitter” becomes more pronounced.
The combination of warm base tones and reflective polyps gives this coral a natural yet premium aesthetic, making it ideal for adding subtle contrast and complexity to SPS-dominated systems.
As it grows, the branching structure develops further depth, enhancing both shimmer and overall visual presence.
🧾 Frag Note
You will receive a healthy frag similar to the photo, selected for polyp extension, shimmer effect and structural integrity.
Selected for:
• Unique shimmering “glitter” polyp effect
• Soft pink and warm brown tonal blend
• High polyp extension for texture and movement
• Elegant, natural-looking SPS aesthetic
• Strong growth potential in stable systems
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Acropora rely primarily on photosynthesis but benefit from nutrient stability.
Recommended support:
• Stable nitrate and phosphate levels
• Amino acids and trace element supplementation
• Occasional broadcast feeding of fine plankton
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in the upper reef with strong lighting and high, turbulent flow. Stability enhances both colour and shimmer effect.
