Acropora dendrum (Coral Sea) Pink Confetti – XL is a spectacular small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its vibrant pink confetti-like polyps and robust branching structure. Originating from the Coral Sea, this specimen is an excellent choice for experienced reef aquarists looking to enhance their reefscape with a visually striking and healthy coral.
Lighting Requirements: This coral thrives under strong lighting, ideally provided by high-quality LED, T5, or metal halide fixtures. Aim for intense PAR levels to support optimal growth and vibrant coloration.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential to keep the coral healthy, ensuring effective gas exchange and removal of detritus. Avoid direct blasting flow which may cause tissue damage.
Placement: Position this Acropora dendrum in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where lighting and flow conditions are optimal. Provide adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow for growth.
Care Level: This coral is best suited for advanced hobbyists with stable, mature reef systems. Maintain pristine water parameters with stable alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium levels.
Compatibility and Reef Safety: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth. Compatible with most reef-safe fish and invertebrates.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS supplements.
Minimum Tank Size: Recommended for tanks 90 litres (24 gallons) and above to ensure stable water conditions.
