Cyphastrea sp. – Branching Pink/Purple

Characteristics:

• Type: Cyphastrea sp. (Stony Coral)

• Variant: Branching Pink/Purple

• Color: Delicate to strong pink and purple tones in the polyps, often with slightly darker base tissue; beautiful fluorescence under blue light

• Structure: Rare branching growth form, unlike the usual encrusting Cyphastrea; small, densely packed polyps on slender branches

• Light Requirements: Low to medium – colors are particularly vibrant under blue light

• Flow: Light to moderate

Care Instructions:
The Branching Cyphastrea Pink/Purple is a robust and adaptable coral that is well-suited for mixed reef aquariums. It prefers stable water parameters and a rather sheltered position without direct strong flow. Due to its branching structure, care should be taken to prevent detritus buildup, which can be avoided with light, consistent flow.
