Acropora tenuis (Blueish) Frag is a captivating SPS coral prized for its delicate branching structure and subtle blue hues. Cultured by DJM, this frag offers hobbyists a reliable and healthy specimen to enhance their reef tanks.
Lighting Requirements: This coral thrives under strong to very strong lighting, ideally provided by LED or metal halide systems that support SPS growth.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is recommended to ensure optimal health and prevent detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position the frag in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium where it can receive ample light and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and ensure healthy growth.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Acropora tenuis requires stable water parameters, including consistent calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium levels.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is reef safe but may engage in chemical warfare if placed too close to other corals.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic via symbiotic zooxanthellae, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS supplements.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water quality and stable tank conditions are essential for long-term success. Frag size allows for easier acclimation and placement within established reef systems.
