💙💚 Acropora tenuis “Azure Canopy” – Colony – WYSIWYG
Acropora tenuis – Full-Size SPS Colony With Blue–Green Tones & Lively Polyp Extension (Exact Piece Shown)

🧬 Overview
The Acropora tenuis “Azure Canopy” is a refined, full-size SPS colony showcasing a cool blue-to-teal structure layered with vivid green highlights and lively polyp extension.
Elegant yet impactful, this colony delivers instant presence while retaining the classic tenuis finesse prized by SPS collectors.

This WYSIWYG colony is tank-grown, fully healed, and well conditioned, offering excellent colour stability and the confidence of a mature, established form from day one.

📸 What you see is exactly what you get — the colony shown is the exact piece you will receive, with its natural branching architecture, colour balance, and multiple active growth points.

🔹 Quick Stats

• Care Level: Moderate to Advanced

• Temperament: Peaceful (allow spacing from neighbouring SPS)

• Colour Form: Blue–teal branches with vibrant green highlights and tips

• Lighting: High (PAR 250–400)

• Water Flow: Strong, alternating / turbulent

• Placement: Upper to mid-upper rockwork with unobstructed light

💡 Growth & Colour
As a mature tenuis colony, this piece already displays refined axial structure and consistent pigmentation. Under stable reef conditions, expect:

• sustained blue–green colour contrast across the colony

• clean, defined growth tips with steady axial extension

• uniform, expressive polyp extension under flow

Avoid ultra-low nutrients — low but measurable nitrates help preserve the green vibrancy and prevent blue tones from dulling. Stable alkalinity is essential for clean, stress-free growth.

🍽️ Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from supplemental nutrition:

• fine powdered coral foods or micro-plankton

• amino acid blends 1–2× weekly

Regular feeding supports tissue thickness, polyp extension, and long-term colour depth.

📈 Optimal Parameters

📍 Placement
Place in a high-light area with strong, random flow to maximise polyp movement and highlight the blue-to-green colour layering throughout the colony.
