🧬 Overview

The Glacier Blue Tenuis Acropora is a premium collector frag admired for its icy contrast and luminous depth. Each branch blends cool blue pigmentation with a glowing white core that gives the coral a frozen, crystalline appearance under reef lighting.

Its elegant, rounded branching structure and intense chromatic response make it a true standout piece in any SPS collection — especially in tanks dominated by warm or pink corals.

🍽️ Care & Feeding

This coral is fully photosynthetic, but benefits greatly from trace element stability (especially potassium, iron, and iodine) to maintain its vibrant blue hue and white centre.
Occasional feeding with fine powdered foods such as Reef Roids or Coral Dust enhances tissue growth and polyp extension.

📈 Optimal Parameters

📍 Placement

Place in upper reef zones under intense full-spectrum or actinic lighting. Ensure turbulent, multidirectional flow to promote symmetrical branch formation and maintain clean polyp tissue. Avoid direct shadowing from nearby SPS colonies.
