Representative Acropora coralphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.
A pink-bodied tabling acro with blue corallites, one of the most iconic and demanding named acros in the trade. Notorious for needing high, stable light to hold its pink.
Keeper tips for this variant
Place high under high PAR (250-350) with intense flow and ultra-stable alk — 'SSC' browns out or RTNs at the first nutrient or alkalinity swing, so dose consistently and quarantine for AEFW.
