Pocillopora acuta (Pink-Purple) Tank-Bred Frag is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its vivid pink to purple hues and intricate branching structure. Cultured under controlled conditions, this frag is an excellent choice for marine aquarists looking to add vibrant colour and dynamic growth to their reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colouration and growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a PAR range of approximately 150-250 µmol/m²/s are ideal.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow helps prevent detritus accumulation and supports healthy polyp extension. Position the frag where it can receive indirect but consistent water movement.
Placement: Place this frag in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium to ensure adequate light exposure and water circulation. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and ensure healthy growth.
Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced reef keepers familiar with SPS coral husbandry. Stable water parameters and regular maintenance are essential.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Pocillopora acuta is reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth. It coexists well with most reef inhabitants.
Water Parameters: Maintain temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.025-1.026 SG, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm for optimal health.
Origin: Tank-Bred (cultured) – origin not wild collected, ensuring sustainability and reduced environmental impact.
This frag is supplied in a small size suitable for aquascaping and propagation. Regular feeding of coral foods or amino acid supplements can enhance growth but is not mandatory.
