Seriatopora caliendrum (Pink) is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its delicate branching structure and vibrant pink coloration. Originating from the pristine reefs of Fiji and Tonga, this extra large specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and growth. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems are suitable, but avoid sudden changes to prevent bleaching.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow helps prevent detritus accumulation and promotes healthy tissue growth. Position the coral where it receives indirect but consistent flow.
Placement: Place this coral in the upper to middle regions of the tank to ensure adequate light exposure. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions and allow for 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. Avoid placing near aggressive corals that may sting or overshadow it.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water chemistry, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, supports healthy skeletal development. Feeding is generally not required but may benefit from occasional target feeding with coral foods or phytoplankton.
