Seriatopora hystrix (Pink) is a stunning small-sized SPS coral known for its delicate, branching structure and vibrant pink coloration. This coral is ideal for experienced marine aquarists looking to enhance their reef tanks with a visually striking yet manageable species.
Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to support optimal growth and maintain its vivid pink hues. LED or T5 lighting systems that provide a balanced spectrum work well.
Water Flow: Strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote healthy polyp extension. Aim for varied flow patterns rather than direct blasts.
Placement: Position this coral in the mid to upper regions of the aquarium where it can receive adequate light and water movement. Ensure sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. This species requires stable water parameters and attentive husbandry to thrive.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing too close to aggressive corals to prevent stinging or overgrowth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae but benefits from occasional feeding of fine particulate foods such as phytoplankton or coral-specific liquid supplements.
Minimum Tank Size: A minimum of 75 litres (20 gallons) is recommended to maintain stable water conditions.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 15 cm in height under optimal conditions.
