Pink Lemonade

[mrtian97]

This is my favorite coral in my tank, grew it from 1” frag, took about 18 months to reach this size.
Pls provide input if the color is good for a Pink Lemonade

My parameter: Alk 9.0; Ca 400; pH 8.3; Nitrate and Phosphate close to 0. I am always worry that my Nitrate and PO4 are too low but I have algae growth on the glass that I clean every couple days so may not be too low. I use salifert to test and my sps corals growth are mostly fine except several pieces STN for no reasons

thanks

Love this acropora, they show fantastic pe and great growth, with nice coloration.

I got my colony from Battlecorals, and can not wait to get another.

I got this frag from battle corals and it just started growing well for me. ( had it a year lol) is this pink lemonade? It's that yellow color like yours with pink tips

It doesn't look like pink lemonade to me, but I might be wrong. Hard to tell from the picture.

Ya I tried for about 10 minutes to get a better one. Here's another, it's more pink than purple as seen . Didn't mean to hijack but you guys seemed like the right group to ask lol, thanks

That certainly looks very healthy,nice job...........it's hard to tell from the quality of the pic if the colors are good.

This is one of the few corals that actually is yellow. added to the pink polyps, hence the popular name.

If your coral has this type of yellow and light pink polyps than your colors look good. I don't have the great polyp extension you do to really show off the pink polyps.

Mine is nowhere near this level of color or PE, what sort of light/flow is this in and what all do you dose?

This is my pink lemonade after close to 2 years. Started with a very, very tiny piece. Somewhat green/yellow color with pink polyps.

It's hard to gauge the color from the pic, but the polyp extension is great. Here is a picture of mine. Sometimes it is yellow and sometimes there is a hint of green in the yellow.

It's near the top and centered directly under may bank of T5 bulbs.

I only dose for alk and calcium.

They grow really fast once they are settled in. You will have a colony in not time.
