Fast Facts

Tremendously popular, Pink Soft Coral is one of the only corals available in this sort of pink color. Since it is so seldom available, you'll also want to check out the Orange Soft Coral which is the same coral in an equally attractive orange. Only somewhat photosynthetic (if at all), these corals do not require much lighting, although they are not harmed by it, providing it is not too intense. Placing directly under intense lighting should be avoided, but proper water movement is a must. Strong water flow throughout the tank, for example, directed at tank walls, is recommended. Alternating or pulsing water flow is even better. Although similar looking, these corals are much hardier than the related Carnation Coral Dendronepthea, and Red Silk Coral If you like this one, you'll also like the Orange Soft Coral which is also available. (same thing, different color). These corals are not abundant in the trade. They tend to run small, large pieces are rarely available.
