💛⚡ Acropora tenuis “Amarela Tóxica” – Colonies (S / M / L)
Acropora tenuis – Ultra Bright Toxic Yellow Reef-Building SPS Coral (Aquarium-Grown Colonies)
🧬 Overview
The Acropora tenuis “Amarela Tóxica” is a dazzling SPS coral morph displaying neon-yellow branches and vivid fluorescent polyps, standing out even under intense blue lighting.
Fully aquarium-grown and tank-adapted, these colonies guarantee exceptional colour stability, strong growth, and smooth acclimation to modern reef systems.
Available in three size grades:
-
S (Small): Compact starter colony with multiple growing tips – ideal for quick encrusting and branching
-
M (Medium): Balanced, structured colony with active axial growth
-
L (Large): Mature showpiece colony – high impact and instant reef presence
📸 Photos shown are examples – each colony is unique in shape and tone, but all share the same toxic-yellow fluorescence and premium condition.
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Moderate to Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires spacing from other SPS)
Colour Form: A radiant toxic-yellow tenuis with bright lime to golden tones and subtle pastel reflections under daylight. Under actinic blues, the coral glows with intense, almost electric fluorescence — a true eye-catcher in any SPS section.
Lighting: High (PAR 250–400)
Water Flow: Strong, turbulent
Placement: Upper to mid rockwork with open exposure to light and multidirectional flow
💡 Growth & Colour
Acropora tenuis are known for their thick, elegant branch structure and fast vertical growth under stable conditions.
This morph develops:
-
strong axial tips with dense polyp coverage
-
ultra-bright colour retention under LED or hybrid lighting
-
rapid encrusting and branching behaviour
Maintain balanced nutrients and stable parameters to preserve the vivid yellow pigmentation.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from:
-
amino acid supplementation
-
fine powdered coral foods or microplankton (1–2× weekly)
Regular feeding helps deepen the fluorescent yellow and accelerate growth.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Position in high light and strong, alternating flow zones.
Allow room for branch expansion and vertical growth.
Avoid shaded spots to maintain full fluorescent intensity.
