An established line. The same coral under this name at any shop.

Collector tier: uncommon, reviewed 2026-08.

A branching Acropora that reads pink along most of each branch and fades to green lower down, with a green encrusting base on a frag and a green interior on a colony. Blue to purple polyps stand out against the pink, and the growth tips run pale, usually white.

How to tell it is the real thing

Pink branch, blue to purple polyps, green below. A PC Rainbow is pink too but carries dark red polyps over a gold base, and a Pink Lemonade is the other way round, pink polyps on yellow branches. The strain is traced to Reef Raft Canada, whose prefix is on most labels, though nobody says where the colony came from. The name is older than the Acropora: a Montipora was sold as Pink Cadillac around 2008, so read the type word on a listing.

Keeping Acropora

High light and strong random flow, up in the rockwork. Pink Cadillac is intermediate to keep at a typical PAR of 250–350 in moderate to high flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral, not measured on this one.

What Pink Cadillac goes for

No verified sales yet. A range publishes once 3 dated, checkable records from 3 different sources exist, priced per frag and reported as a median, with what shops ask kept separate from what buyers paid. One frag is a single cut on a plug, whatever its exact size. Colonies, mini colonies and mother stock are excluded rather than averaged in. Nothing on this page is for sale.
