{"product_id":"baby-pink-acropora-sp","title":"Baby Pink Acropora sp.","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcropora corals are a cornerstone of the SPS (small polyp stony) coral world, renowned for their intricate structures and vibrant colouration. This Baby Pink Acropora sp. offers a delightful pink hue, a classic choice for many reef aquariums looking to add a touch of delicate colour. They represent a significant step for hobbyists ready to embrace the challenges and rewards of advanced reef keeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specific colony showcases the typical branching growth form of Acropora, with delicate branches extending outwards. The polyps are small and retract into the skeleton, offering a smoother appearance, but will extend slightly when happy, creating a soft, fuzzy texture. This piece measures approximately 14.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo thrive, this pink Acropora requires high PAR lighting, typically in the range of 300-500 PAR. Strong, turbulent water flow is essential to keep the coral clean and deliver nutrients, avoiding dead spots. Placement in the upper third of the aquarium, where both light and flow are strongest, is usually ideal. While primarily photosynthetic, occasional spot feeding with fine coral foods can benefit growth and colouration. Stable water parameters are crucial: calcium 400-440 ppm, alkalinity 8-9 dKH, and magnesium 1300-1400 ppm. Ensure ample space around the coral, as SPS corals generally do not possess aggressive stinging polyps but need room to grow. Acclimation should be gradual, particularly for lighting, to prevent shock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a WYSIWYG item, so you'll receive the exact specimen pictured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note that colours can look slightly different in person than in photos, depending on your lighting and screen, and the size given is an approximate guide measured at the time of listing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eastern Marine Aquariums","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50224921083959,"sku":"EMA-SPS-20260924-7OTA","price":295.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/render-f9a21ad3-48d2-4283-9c88-6f49d0ec77bb.png?v=1790328777","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/baby-pink-acropora-sp","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
