My tank lights are off so I had to find old pictures but had a couple more.
I love the crystalline skin of this nepthea.

And though its not pink itself the skeleton of pipe organs is a beautiful dark pink

I have a pink Goni with blue tips, under blues it’s super bright, one of the brightest in my tank.

I am looking for pink corals, baby pink preferably, do you have any or know of any? Care to share names?
I have a beautiful pink and lavender torch, it photographs terribly but its stunning in person. Under blues it’s simply gorgeous.

In my opinion pink is pretty hard to find in the hobby. Some good examples above though.

I find most things advertised as pink to be more orangish or red. Pink bird's-nest I think is one that really stands out as pink, but only in whiter spectrum...in heavy blues it often looks much darker and even brown.

Yes it's been a hard search and I regret the opportunity I passed up when I have seen some. Mushrooms, zoas, and this i haven't identified yet looked so vivid pink the picture doesn't do it justice. But I kind of want to know more about things before I buy them.

I will be driving an 1.5 hours out of my way (3 hours return trip) for this beautiful pink mushroom from a fellow hobbyist for $20.

Goniopora species, chalices, zoas, and acros are a good bet to find the color pink glowing under blues. If you want daylight pink, there are some great Stylophora and Seriatapora that look vivid pink under more white light.
