🧬 Overview

The Toxic Green Acropora tenuis is a striking SPS coral prized for its intense fluorescent green colouration, elegant branching structure, and excellent polyp extension. Its vivid neon pigmentation makes it a standout addition to any SPS-dominated reef, delivering exceptional visual impact under both daylight and blue-spectrum lighting.

As the colony matures, it develops dense branching with brightly coloured axial growth tips and outstanding texture. Under stable reef conditions, the fluorescent green tissue becomes increasingly vibrant, producing a spectacular display that immediately draws attention.

Highly sought after by SPS enthusiasts, this variety rewards stable husbandry with rapid growth, excellent colour retention, and impressive colony development.

Selected for:

• • Intense toxic-green colouration
• • Exceptional actinic fluorescence
• • Excellent polyp extension
• • Elegant Acropora tenuis branching
• • Premium WYSIWYG collector specimen

🍽️ Care & Feeding

Although primarily photosynthetic, Acropora tenuis benefits from regular feeding of fine suspended foods and amino acid supplementation, helping to maximise growth, colour intensity, and polyp extension.

Recommended feeding:

• • Reef Roids and fine powdered coral foods
• • Zooplankton-based SPS foods
• • Amino acid supplements
• • Live or preserved phytoplankton as part of a balanced feeding regime

Maintaining stable alkalinity and consistent nutrient levels is essential for long-term success.

📈 Optimal Parameters
