🧬 Overview
The Acropora tenuis “Homebreaker” – Ultra Color is one of the most iconic and sought-after SPS corals in the reef hobby. Famous for its extreme coloration and dynamic branching structure, this tenuis variety combines vivid pigments that can shift and intensify depending on lighting spectrum and nutrient balance.
Its signature palette includes intense pink branches contrasted with bright yellow growth tips and subtle green tones across the base tissue. Under strong reef LED lighting the coral produces exceptional fluorescence, making it a centerpiece coral in high-end SPS reef aquariums.
The elegant tenuis growth pattern produces slender branches with pronounced axial tips and textured coralites. As the colony matures, it forms a vibrant multi-colour structure that becomes a dominant visual feature within SPS-dominated aquascapes.
WYSIWYG:
You will receive the exact coral shown in the photo. Each specimen is individually photographed and selected for colour saturation, structure and coral health.
Selected for:
• Signature Homebreaker ultra-colour pattern
• Strong pink, yellow and green pigment expression
• Healthy tissue and active growth tips
• Excellent fluorescence under reef LED lighting
• Premium collector-grade SPS coral
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Like most Acropora species, Homebreaker relies mainly on photosynthesis but benefits from stable nutrient levels and occasional coral feeding.
Recommended feeding 1–2× weekly:
• Fine plankton blends or powdered coral foods
• Amino acid supplements for SPS systems
• Broadcast feeding in mature reef aquariums
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in the upper aquascape where strong lighting and turbulent water flow are present. Acropora tenuis thrives in high-energy reef zones where strong flow promotes vibrant coloration and healthy skeletal growth.
Allow sufficient spacing between neighbouring SPS colonies to support natural branch expansion.
