{"product_id":"pink-acropora-sp","title":"Pink Acropora sp.","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcropora are one of the defining corals of a mature reef system. With their rapid growth and delicate branching structures, they are often a highlight in SPS-dominant aquariums. This beautiful Pink Acropora sp. measures approximately 6cm and will make a lovely addition. Some experience with SPS coral husbandry is beneficial for success with this species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specimen presents a lovely pink hue across its branches, which can intensify under optimal lighting conditions. The polyps are small and provide a fuzzy appearance to the branches when extended, constantly feeding and cleaning the coral's surface. Acropora grow by extending their tips and branching out, forming intricate colonies over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a Pink Acropora sp., strong, stable lighting is crucial, typically requiring PAR levels between 250-450. High, turbulent flow is essential to keep the coral clean and deliver nutrients, ensuring proper gas exchange. Placement in the upper third of the aquarium is usually ideal to meet its light and flow demands. While primarily photosynthetic, supplemental feeding with fine particulate foods or amino acids can boost growth and colouration. Maintain stable water parameters: Calcium 400-440 ppm, Alkalinity 8-9 dKH, and Magnesium 1300-1400 ppm. Ensure ample space around the colony to prevent aggression from neighbouring corals as it grows. Acclimation should be slow and gradual, especially regarding light, to avoid shocking the specimen.\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":50224917512247,"sku":"EMA-SPS-20260924-DQ2E","price":225.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1849\/1739\/files\/render-bf08879d-6186-485e-a678-fe81fb365097_1.png?v=1790328438","url":"https:\/\/easternmarineaquariums.co.nz\/products\/pink-acropora-sp","provider":"EasternMarine Aquariums","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
