💚⚡ Toxic Glow Tenuis
Acropora tenuis – Ultra Fluorescent Green Colony
Please note: This listing is for a frag cut-to-order from the colony shown in the photograph.
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires a stable SPS environment)
Colour Form: A striking toxic neon-green body with shimmering lime undertones and glowing pastel tips. Each branch emits an intense, almost radioactive brightness, glowing powerfully under actinic or blue-dominant lighting. The fine polyp structure creates a soft, halo-like shimmer, giving the coral the appearance of being charged with electric energy — a true centrepiece in any SPS-heavy reef.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 8–9, pH 8.1–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Acroporidae
Lighting: High (PAR 300–450)
Water Flow: Strong, alternating
Placement: Upper rockwork
🧬 Overview
The Toxic Glow Tenuis is pure reef electricity — a coral that pulses with luminous intensity. Its ultra-fluorescent pigments make it one of the brightest Acropora tenuis morphs available, radiating under all lighting spectra and visually dominating even among premium SPS colonies.
Ideal for advanced SPS enthusiasts, this coral brings powerful contrast and vibrant energy to any system. Under the right light, it looks less like coral — and more like concentrated neon light in motion.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Fully photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional fine coral foods such as Reef Roids or phytoplankton once per week. Maintain balanced trace elements (iron, manganese, potassium) to support sustained fluorescence and polyp vitality. Keep nutrients stable — mild, detectable nitrate and phosphate encourage strong colour saturation.
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 8–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 430–460 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.02–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Fix securely in the upper third of the aquascape with strong, alternating flow. Ensure full light exposure and allow room for upward development — avoid shading from faster-growing SPS species.
