Placement and Water Flow

Place the Pink Birdsnest Coral in an area receiving moderate-to-strong, indirect water movement. Proper flow helps keep debris from collecting within its closely spaced branches while delivering nutrients throughout the colony.

Avoid placing the coral directly in front of a powerful pump, as concentrated flow may damage its delicate tissue.

Lighting and Acclimation

Medium-to-high reef lighting supports strong coloration and healthy growth. Begin the coral in a moderately lit location and gradually move it toward its intended placement, especially when introducing it to a significantly brighter lighting system.

Stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and temperature are especially important for long-term SPS health.
