Seriatopora hystrix (Pink) is a captivating small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its delicate, branching growth and vibrant pink coloration. This extra extra large specimen offers a dramatic focal point for mature reef aquariums.
Lighting Requirements: Thrives under moderate to high lighting, ideally provided by LED or metal halide fixtures to support optimal photosynthesis and vibrant colour retention.
Water Flow: Prefers strong, turbulent water flow to ensure effective gas exchange and removal of detritus from its branches, mimicking natural reef conditions.
Placement: Position this coral in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where it can receive ample light and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: Recommended for experienced aquarists familiar with SPS coral husbandry due to its sensitivity to water quality fluctuations.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near aggressive corals that may cause tissue damage.
Additional Notes: Maintain stable water parameters with regular testing and dosing to support calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels essential for skeletal growth.
