Acropora tenuis (Blueish) is a striking SPS coral prized for its vibrant blueish coloration and intricate branching structure. This extra large specimen is perfect for advanced marine aquarists looking to add a premium coral to their reef tank.
Lighting Requirements: This coral thrives under strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems. Providing a PAR range of 250-400 µmol/m²/s will support healthy growth and vibrant colouration.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to supply nutrients efficiently. Aim for turbulent, indirect flow to avoid tissue damage.
Placement: Position the Acropora tenuis higher in the tank to ensure adequate light exposure. Maintain sufficient spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggressive interactions and allow for healthy expansion.
Care Level: This species is best suited for experienced hobbyists familiar with maintaining stable water parameters and consistent water quality.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels is recommended to support skeletal growth. Avoid sudden changes in lighting or flow to reduce stress.
