💚🔵✨ Acropora tenuis “Emerald Blue Tip”
Green Tenuis Acropora – Neon Green Base with Electric Blue Tips & Large Polyps (Cut to Order)
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful
Colour Form: Emerald Blue Tip is a high-end Acropora tenuis displaying a bright neon green base contrasted by electric blue growth tips and exceptionally large, extended polyps. The colour separation is clean and vibrant, with the green providing strong fluorescence and the blue tips adding sharp definition. The oversized polyps add movement and texture rarely seen in tenuis, giving the colony a fluffy, high-energy appearance. Under blue lighting, both colours glow intensely; under whites, the structure and contrast remain crisp and defined.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–8.5, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Acroporidae
Lighting: High (PAR 250–350)
Water Flow: Strong, random, turbulent
Placement: Upper rockwork
Type: Cut to Order
🧬 Overview
The Emerald Blue Tip Tenuis is a collector-grade SPS prized for its rare combination of clean colour contrast and exaggerated polyp extension. Unlike tight, compact tenuis, this morph shows big, fluffy polyps that create constant motion, giving it a soft look despite being an SPS.
Its branching structure, fast growth and strong polyp presence make it ideal for high-end SPS gardens and mixed reefs where texture and colour both matter.
Each Cut to Order frag is taken from mother colonies selected for:
-
Intense neon green base colour
-
Clearly defined electric blue growth tips
-
Large, consistently extended polyps
-
Strong growth form and thick branches
-
Proven stability and coloration under reef lighting
A premium option for reefers who want colour, texture and movement in one Acropora.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
While photosynthetic, this Acropora benefits from heavy nutrient systems and regular planktonic feeding.
Feed 2–3× weekly with:
-
Amino acids
-
Fine planktonic foods (rotifers, copepods)
-
Reef snow / SPS blends
Maintain stable nutrients and strong export for best colour and growth.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in high light and strong, chaotic flow to encourage polyp extension and tight growth form.
Allow space around for growth and avoid shading by larger colonies.
Pairs exceptionally well with:
-
Other high-end Tenuis (rainbow, pink tip, gold tip)
-
Smooth skin Acropora for contrast
-
Deepwater Acros
-
Minimalist SPS-dominant layouts
