Acropora tenuis (Greenish) is a stunning small-sized SPS coral prized for its vibrant green hues and intricate branching structure. This tiny specimen is ideal for experienced marine aquarists looking to add a splash of colour and complexity to their reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: Acropora tenuis thrives under high-intensity lighting, such as metal halide, T5, or strong LED systems, to support its photosynthetic needs.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote healthy polyp extension.
Placement: Position this coral higher in the tank to ensure it receives ample light and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions.
Care Level: This species requires stable water parameters and consistent maintenance, making it suitable for advanced hobbyists.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing; avoid placing near aggressive corals that may cause damage.
Regular monitoring of water chemistry, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, is recommended to support optimal growth.
