Pink Slimes are the most common slimes found in Slime Rancher and are among the first Beatrix will encounter. They are easily identified by their pink coloration and can spawn in practically any location outside of The Conservatory.
Pink Slime are omnivorous; they can eat all foods from the three main food types (Fruit, Meat, and Veggies, but not Nectar). This makes them the easiest Slime to ranch. As a tradeoff, they do not have a favorite food unless converted to a Largo Slime (with the exception of the Pink Saber Largo) and their plorts have the lowest monetary value.
They have no negative behaviors when agitated.

Slime Rancher 2[]
Slimeology:
Pink Slimes are the most common slime found on the Far, Far Range. They're cheerful, docile, and the easiest of all slimes to ranch. A pink slime will eat anything you put in front of it, though they have no favorite food, and their plorts are the least valuable of all slimes.
Rancher Risks:
Not much to worry about with a pink slime. They're soft, squishy, very happy to be around a rancher, and found all over the Range. But because of this, a rancher won't go far without finding a few pink plorts, which can lead to largos, and then...
Plortonomics:
Pink Plorts are an excellent "multipurpose generic substance" used to manufacture everything from food products to household cleaners. All over earth, people are eating burgers, sweetening their coffees or scrubbing their floors with pink plort products. That's some serious versatility!
Tips[]
- If a large number of regular Pink Slimes are kept in a Corral they will naturally form a stack, (a stack being the slimes gluing themselves to each other and not just sitting on top of each other due to overcrowding) Though having the High Walls, Air Net corral and the Music Box upgrades will help counter this to some extent, but it's recommended not to keep too many and to turn them into Largos instead for Plort variety, especially early in the game.
- Because Pink Slimes can eat all foods (with the exception of moondew nectar), any difficult-to-feed Slimes such as Tabby Slimes can be converted to Pink Largos to compensate.
Origin[]
The Pink Slime's coloration being described as a "coral hue", and spawning from corals in The Dry Reef indicates that pink slimes may be a reference to precious coral, an endangered species of coral that comes in red or pink hues which historically has been used for jewelry. However, since they spawn independently of the coral object, they may even be based on the Polyps that construct corals. The Pink Slime's unique omnivorous diet and its simplistic pink design may be a reference to Nintendo's Kirby. The Pink Slime's name may also be reference to the real-world meat by-product lean finely textured beef, also known as pink slime.

Trivia[]
- The Pink Slime's plortonomics description may be a reference to Spore's Pink Spice, as both Slime Rancher's pink plorts and Spore's pink spice are described to be used as sweeteners and floor cleaning products.
- The diversity of uses for Pink Plorts in the Slimepedia could reference the fact they eat Meat, Fruit, and Veggies.
