📜 Backstory
A long-established named aquacultured acro (circulated by Reef Raft / RRC among others) prized as a hardy, fast-growing pink collector piece. It is frequently lumped with the pink 'shortcake' group, but it is a distinct cultivar with its own darker, yellow-undertoned pink rather than a strawberry-shortcake type. Exact original collection point is not well documented, so treat origin as debated.
Keeper tips for this variant
High light is essential to keep the pink from fading to brown; strong flow and stable alkalinity prevent tissue recession.
