🧬 Overview
The Jigglypuff Tenuis is one of the most sought-after colour morphs in modern SPS reefing — a collector-grade specimen prized for its whimsical pastel tones and soft, radiant glow. Under white light it shows a gentle pink body with icy reflections; under blue light it transforms into a fluorescent fantasy of pink, lilac, and snow-blue luminescence.
This coral embodies the delicate elegance of Acropora tenuis at its finest — fluffy, luminous, and softly radiant, like a pastel daydream growing on the reef.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, though it benefits from fine coral foods (Reef Roids, coral powders, phytoplankton) once per week. Maintain stable trace elements — especially iron, potassium, and manganese — to preserve pink saturation and bright tip fluorescence. Avoid nutrient starvation: tenuis tend to lose colour under ultra-low nutrient conditions.
