🤍💙 Acropora tenuis “Ice Core Blue Tips” – Colonies (S / M / L)

Acropora tenuis – Pale Core With Blue-Tipped Branches SPS Coral (Aquarium-Grown Colonies)

🧬 Overview

The Acropora tenuis “Ice Core Blue Tips” is a refined SPS morph featuring a light, creamy-white to greyish-yellow base that transitions into brilliant electric-blue tips.
Each colony is fully aquarium-grown and tank-adapted, guaranteeing stable coloration, excellent polyp extension, and fast axial growth once established in a mature reef system.

Available in three size grades:

• S (Small): Compact starter colony with vivid growth tips and defined branch pattern

• M (Medium): Balanced multi-branch colony with strong colour zoning

• L (Large): Mature table-like display colony – high visual impact and structure

📸 Photos shown are examples — each colony varies slightly in tone and branch density, but all share the same pale-core/blue-tip morph and pristine health.

🔹 Quick Stats

Care Level: Moderate to Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires spacing from other SPS)
Colour Form: A unique ice-inspired morph with a whitish-golden core and intense blue tips under actinic lighting.
Under daylight, the colony glows in soft cream and silver tones; under blues, the tips ignite in luminous sapphire — a subtle yet sophisticated colour combination rarely seen in tenuis.
Lighting: High (PAR 250–400)
Water Flow: Strong, alternating
Placement: Upper rockwork or exposed mid zones with open circulation

💡 Growth & Colour

This morph of Acropora tenuis develops thick, rounded branches and maintains its pale contrast when alkalinity and lighting remain stable.
Expect:

• strong axial growth and dense branching

• distinctive contrast between the pale body and blue tips

• rapid encrusting base under consistent high light

Balanced nutrients and trace elements (particularly potassium and iron) help preserve tip fluorescence and body clarity.

🍽️ Care & Feeding

Primarily photosynthetic, but enhanced by occasional feeding. Offer:

• fine coral foods or amino acid supplements

• microplankton blends 1–2× per week

Feeding supports growth and helps sustain colour intensity in both tips and body.

📈 Optimal Parameters

📍 Placement

Place in high light and strong alternating flow areas to encourage colour zoning and branch growth.
Provide open space around the colony to prevent shading and promote even pigmentation.
