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

Seriatopora caliendrum, commonly known as the Pink Birdsnest Coral, is a striking SPS coral prized for its delicate, branching structure and vibrant pink hues. This XXXL specimen originates from the pristine reefs of Fiji and Tonga, offering a spectacular focal point for mature reef aquariums.

Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colouration and growth. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum are ideal.

Water Flow: Moderate, turbulent water flow is best to ensure adequate gas exchange and to prevent detritus accumulation within the branches.

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

Care Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced hobbyists due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting conditions.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This species is generally peaceful but requires room to expand without contact with other corals.

Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with regular testing and dosing as needed. Optimal water conditions include temperature 24-26°C, salinity 1.025-1.026, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
