Unique Corals Aqua-cultured, healthy and colorful! Tank hardened.
This coral is one of THE holy grails when it comes to soft corals. Under white lights this coral is bright pink. Long ago in the ancient past there were few if any bright pink soft corals (that were photosynthetic). One day Koji Wada one of the most hardcore reefers in Japan came to the United States and with him he brought a frag of the Koji Wada Pink Nepthea. The first bright pink photosynthetic soft coral to enter the US market. Since that day we have aquacultured the piece and helped to keep it in circulation in the hobby. This coral is a Stereonephthya - while it has the looks of a Dendronephthya or carnation coral it is indeed photosynthetic and can live without feeding. Despite this it certainly grows faster if it is fed. Under higher flow this coral will grow longer polyps and look more wavy, under lower flow it will stay stubby and appear broccoli like.
HUSBANDRY NOTES: Softie-Beginner- We keep our corals under Dalua/Illumagic X4 LED lights with an intensity of approximately 100 PAR and feed regularly with Polyp Lab Reef Roids and BenePets.
Note: This is a stock item. No more waiting for frags to heal! If this coral shows in stock it is ready for immediate ship-out. We have added multiple growing systems in order to help us achieve a better grow-out supply. This means that we are now proud to be able to offer our frags immediately. If you wish to purchase a larger size piece please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate.
Shown are the mother colony we frag from as well as close up (macro lens) pictures and a representation photo of a typical frag. We aim to make each frag 1” in size and larger when possibly. Occasionally the frags might be a tad smaller than 1” but if you read our reviews, you will see that we typically surpass expectations.
