Hot Pink Stylophora Coral Frag

Hot Pink Stylophora, Stylophora pistillata, is a branching stony coral known for its thick rounded branches, compact growth form, and dense polyp texture. This WYSIWYG frag features vivid hot pink to magenta branch tissue with deeper pink polyps and rounded branch tips, giving it a bright, high-impact look under reef lighting. Stylophora pistillata is popular with reef hobbyists because it adds bold color, branching structure, and natural reef texture to established aquariums with stable conditions.

Care Guide: Stylophora pistillata generally does best in moderate to high lighting and moderate to strong indirect water flow. Provide turbulent flow that keeps the branches clean and supports healthy polyp extension, but avoid harsh direct blasting. Place this frag on stable rockwork where it has room to branch outward and upward. Maintain stable alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, salinity, and temperature, as Stylophora corals can be sensitive to major parameter swings. This coral is photosynthetic and does not require target feeding, though it may benefit from fine particulate coral foods and stable nutrient availability in a mature reef system.
