🧬 Overview
The Acropora tenuis “Golden Disney” is a premium SPS coral inspired by the legendary Walt Disney lineage but displaying a dominant ultra-golden base coloration. This morph combines the iconic tenuis branching structure with bright metallic gold pigments and subtle rainbow highlights.
Under strong reef lighting the golden tissue becomes intensely luminous, while the growth tips develop cooler contrasting tones that enhance the coral’s depth and structure. As the colony grows, the branches form tight clusters that create a brilliant golden crown effect within SPS aquascapes.
Because of its rarity and intense coloration, Golden Disney is often considered a collector-level tenuis, ideal for reefers seeking maximum colour and high-end SPS presence.
WYSIWYG:
You will receive the exact coral shown in the photo. Each specimen is individually photographed and selected for colour intensity, structure and coral health.
Selected for:
• Intense metallic gold coloration
• Subtle rainbow Disney-style highlights
• Strong Acropora tenuis branching structure
• Healthy tissue and active growth tips
• Proven colour response under reef LED lighting
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Like most Acropora tenuis, Golden Disney performs best in nutrient-balanced SPS systems and benefits from occasional feeding.
Recommended feeding 1–2× weekly:
• Amino acid supplements
• Fine planktonic coral foods
• SPS blends / reef snow
• Broadcast feeding in mature reef systems
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in high light and strong chaotic flow to maintain intense golden coloration and tight branch development.
Allow adequate spacing from neighbouring SPS colonies to support natural growth and colour expression.
