𧬠Overview
This Blue & Green Tenuis Acropora combines two of the most iconic SPS colours in a beautifully contrasting Acropora tenuis growth form.
The colony displays a vivid green to teal base, complemented by cooler blue tones around the branch tips, corallites and active growth areas. As the coral establishes and develops, the contrast between these colours can become increasingly pronounced.
Under blue-heavy reef lighting, the green tissue produces particularly strong fluorescence while the blue pigmentation takes on deeper electric and royal-blue shades. Under a more balanced spectrum, additional teal, turquoise and emerald tones may become visible.

π½οΈ Care & Feeding
Blue & Green Tenuis performs best in an established SPS aquarium with stable alkalinity, strong lighting and powerful multidirectional flow. It is primarily photosynthetic, although amino acids and fine particulate SPS foods may be offered as supplemental nutrition.
Maintaining stable, measurable nitrate and phosphate is preferable to aggressively stripping nutrients from the system.
π Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5β8.5 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420β450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300β1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NOβ) | 2β10 ppm |
| Phosphate (POβ) | 0.02β0.08 ppm |
π Placement
Place in the middle to upper areas of the reef, ideally around 250β400 PAR once acclimated, with strong, irregular and multidirectional water movement. Gradual light acclimation is recommended when introducing the frag.
