🔹 Care & Feeding
Acropora tenuis thrives in mature, stable reef aquariums with moderate to high lighting and strong, variable water movement.
As this specimen originates from a wild-collected Australian colony, careful acclimation is particularly important to minimise stress during the transition to aquarium conditions.
Provide strong, indirect turbulent flow to maintain healthy tissue and prevent detritus accumulation around the branches.
Maintain consistent alkalinity, calcium and magnesium concentrations, avoiding sudden fluctuations that may compromise coral health.
Gradually acclimate new frags to stronger lighting, especially when moving between different LED lighting systems.
Although primarily photosynthetic, occasional feeding with fine particulate coral foods, amino acids and plankton-based nutrition may support tissue health and growth.
Important: As a Cut to Order coral, freshly prepared frags require appropriate healing and recovery before shipping. Dispatch will be arranged once the frag demonstrates suitable tissue condition and stability.
🔹 Recommended Parameters
Temperature: 24–26 °C
Salinity: 1.024–1.026 SG
Alkalinity: 7.5–8.5 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Magnesium: 1250–1400 ppm
Nitrate: 2–10 ppm
Phosphate: 0.03–0.10 ppm
🔹 Placement & Compatibility
Ideally positioned in the middle to upper sections of the reef aquarium, where it receives moderate to high lighting and strong, multidirectional water movement.
Allow sufficient space for future branching growth and avoid direct contact with neighbouring corals.
The final intensity of its yellow and white coloration may vary depending on lighting spectrum, nutrient availability, acclimation and aquarium conditions.
