💙☢️🟡 Acropora tenuis “Blue Toxic Fusion” – Colony – WYSIWYG
Acropora tenuis – Full-Size SPS Colony With Deep Blue Structure & Toxic-Yellow Highlights (Exact Piece Shown)
🧬 Overview
The Acropora tenuis “Blue Toxic Fusion” is a striking, high-end SPS colony combining cool blue to teal structural tones with intense toxic-yellow fluorescence on growth tips and active zones.
This dual-colour contrast delivers exceptional depth: calm, oceanic blues paired with explosive neon-yellow highlights that ignite under blue/actinic lighting.
This WYSIWYG colony is tank-grown, fully healed, and well conditioned, offering excellent colour stability and the confidence of a mature, established tenuis 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 generous spacing from neighbouring SPS)
-
Colour Form: Deep blue / teal body with nuclear toxic-yellow tips and highlights
-
Lighting: High (PAR 280–420)
-
Water Flow: Strong, alternating / turbulent
-
Placement: Upper to mid-upper rockwork with unobstructed light
💡 Growth & Colour
As a mature tenuis colony, this piece already shows refined axial structure and consistent pigmentation. Under stable reef conditions, expect:
-
sustained blue saturation across mature branches
-
intensified toxic-yellow coloration on new growth
-
clean axial extension with uniform polyp extension
Avoid ultra-low nutrient systems — low but measurable nitrates are essential to maintain both the blue depth and the toxic-yellow intensity. Stable alkalinity is critical for clean, stress-free growth tips.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits strongly from supplemental feeding:
-
fine powdered coral foods or micro-plankton
-
amino acid blends 1–2× weekly
Feeding supports tissue thickness, colour contrast, and long-term vitality of both colour zones.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1250–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in a high-light area with strong, chaotic flow to fully express the blue-to-toxic-yellow contrast and showcase the colony’s three-dimensional structure.
