The Koji Wada Pink Nepthea is a rare and stunning soft coral, originating from Japan. It is known for its vibrant pink color, which becomes especially pronounced under 10K lighting. Unlike hard corals, the Koji Wada Pink Nepthea lacks an internal calcium carbonate skeleton, giving it a more flexible and delicate appearance.
This coral is relatively slow-growing and maintains a tree-like structure, making it less invasive compared to other soft corals like the Kenya Tree3. Its base has a unique texture, often compared to fiberglass, which helps distinguish it from other Nepthea species.
The Koji Wada Pink Nepthea is photosynthetic and easy to grow and propagate in aquariums, making it a popular choice among coral enthusiasts. Small colonies of this coral are highly sought after and can be quite affordable in Japan.
