Pink Lemonade - some info needed

[ThRoewer]

I have a small frag of Pink Lemonade. It has by now fully covered the frag plug and already started encrusting on the frag rack.

So it's time to give it its final place in my tank, but I have no idea how it grows and at which location it would be best in the tank.

I know it likes high light and a good deal of flow, but that's about all I know.

High light for yellow/pink. Low light for a more greenish base/yellow polyp.

Mine did best at 350-400 par with med flow. You can see it in the middle of the tank

Is it encrusting, growing as a bush or plating?

What you have looks like a Red Planet. But either of those corals will do well in high or medium light. The color profiles changes, higher light you'll get less green on both corals.

I bought it as Pink Lemonade at a LFS here who got it as a trade in.
I also got a tiny Red Planet frag there just a week or two earlier.

I had them next to each other on the frag rack in my 18" cube. At first they looked quite different, but by the time both had covered their frag plugs they looked nearly identical in color.

It's definitely possible that there was a mix-up at the store and I got two Red Planets - I guess time will tell as they grow...

IMO that's not w pink lemonade. Doesn't look like A. nasuta corallite/polyp structure. Red planet on the other hand.....

Agree with above...looks like A. hyacinthus starting to take off.

Yeah, doesn't look like PL

My first thought, red planet
