Overview

'Strawberry Shortcake (SSC)' is a globally popular aquacultured Acropora lineage with a pink body and blue axial polyps. Strong light, strong flow and stable high-quality (low-nutrient) water tighten the pink coloration. Among SPS its color management is somewhat delicate, suiting intermediate-to-advanced keepers. As a trade name, we treat it here as a lineage.
