Stylophora pistillata (Pink) | L

Stylophora pistillata (Pink) is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its vibrant pink coloration and branching growth form. This large specimen is ideal for experienced marine aquarists looking to enhance their reef display with a hardy yet visually striking coral.

Lighting Requirements: Moderate to high lighting is recommended to maintain optimal colour and growth. LED, T5, or metal halide lighting systems are suitable.

Water Flow: Moderate to strong water movement helps prevent detritus accumulation and supports healthy polyp extension.

Placement: Position in the upper to middle areas of the aquarium where it can receive ample light and water flow. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.

Care Level: Moderate care level; requires stable water parameters typical of SPS corals, including consistent calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels.

Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing. Avoid placing too close to soft corals or other aggressive species to prevent stinging or overgrowth.

Regular monitoring of water quality and stable conditions will promote healthy growth and vibrant colouration. Feeding is generally not required but can be supplemented with coral foods or planktonic feeds to enhance growth.
