🧬 Overview
The Acropora tenuis “Solar Flare” is a high-energy SPS morph prized for its blazing warm spectrum and razor-sharp colour contrast. The combination of orange body and yellow tips gives it a flame-crowned look — powerful, clean and extremely photogenic under blue-heavy lighting.
This piece is offered cut to order, meaning each frag is freshly cut from a healthy, well-established mother colony with proven colour stability. Expect strong polyp extension, rapid encrustation and explosive tip growth under proper conditions.
Each cut-to-order frag is selected for:
• Intense orange branch saturation
• Bright, clean yellow growth tips
• Strong axial growth points
• Healthy, pest-free tissue
• Proven colour stability under LED lighting
• Fast encrusting base
A premium SPS for reefers who want heat and brightness in their acro gardens.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
While primarily photosynthetic, Tenuis responds well to nutrient-rich systems and micro-feeding.
Feed 2–3× weekly with:
• Amino acids
• Coral foods (reef roids, plankton blends)
• Phytoplankton and zooplankton
• Maintain stable nutrients for best colour
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in upper rockwork with strong, chaotic flow.
Ensure high light intensity to maintain yellow tip expression.
Avoid shaded zones — this morph thrives under full-spectrum exposure.
