About this item
Cherry Blossom Nephthea
Cherry Blossom Nephthea (Nephthea sp.) is a breathtaking soft coral that transforms any reef into a living garden. Named for its delicate pastel pink branches that fan outward like a flowering cherry blossom tree, this ethereal tree coral brings unmatched height, texture, and graceful motion to the aquascape. Under reef lighting, its soft blush polyps shimmer and sway with every current pulse — an effect that never gets old.
Coloration on this species is wonderfully dynamic. While the signature soft pink is the defining trait, colonies often display subtle specks of yellow, gold, and grey woven throughout the branches — adding depth and complexity to the overall appearance. It's also worth noting that coloration can shift over time as the coral settles into your specific tank conditions, lighting, and flow, making each specimen a uniquely evolving piece of living art.
One of the most rewarding soft corals in the hobby, the Cherry Blossom Nephthea is fast-growing, highly adaptable, and propagates easily from cuttings. Whether you're building a statement centerpiece or filling vertical space with color and life, this coral delivers spectacular results with minimal effort.
