🧬 Overview
The Walt Disney Tenuis Acropora is a coral of mythic status among collectors — famous for its surreal blend of pastel and neon pigments that shift dramatically under different lighting conditions. Its tight, rounded branches and dense polyp structure give it the perfect balance of form and colour.
Under full-spectrum LEDs, the coral glows with intense blues and purples, while actinic lighting reveals deep pinks and golden undertones that make it look almost unreal. Each frag develops its own unique expression, making every piece a living work of art.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
This coral is fully photosynthetic, but colour intensity improves with stable nutrient levels and balanced trace element dosing (especially potassium, iodine, and iron).
Feed with fine powdered coral foods such as Reef Roids once per week to encourage polyp extension and enhance tissue depth.
Maintain low nutrient fluctuations, as instability can fade the coral’s distinct pastel contrast.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–11 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1350 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.01–0.05 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in upper to mid reef zones under intense, balanced full-spectrum lighting. Ensure turbulent multidirectional flow to prevent detritus buildup and encourage natural growth symmetry. Avoid shading from other SPS colonies.
