Seriatopora caliendrum (Pink) (Fiji/Tonga) | T

Seriatopora caliendrum (Pink) is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its delicate, branching structure and vibrant pink hues. Originating from the pristine reefs of Fiji and Tonga, this tiny specimen is perfect for experienced marine aquarists looking to add intricate texture and colour to their reef tanks.

Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.

Water Flow: Moderate, turbulent water flow is ideal to ensure proper gas exchange and to prevent detritus settling on the coral’s branches.

Placement: Position this coral in the mid to upper sections of the aquarium where it can receive adequate light and flow. Ensure sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and allow for healthy growth.

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists familiar with SPS coral husbandry. Stable water parameters and regular maintenance are essential.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals. Avoid placing near aggressive species that may cause damage.

Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water chemistry, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, will support healthy skeletal growth. Fragging is possible but should be done carefully due to the delicate branching.
