Acropora tenuis (Greenish) is a small-sized SPS coral prized for its delicate branching structure and attractive greenish hues. This coral is best suited for experienced marine aquarists who can provide the stable, high-quality conditions it requires.
Lighting: Requires strong, intense lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems to support optimal photosynthesis and vibrant coloration.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to high water flow to ensure proper gas exchange and removal of detritus, which helps maintain coral health.
Placement: Place higher in the aquarium to maximise light exposure. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Stable water parameters and consistent maintenance are essential for success.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals to avoid stinging or overgrowth.
Diet: Primarily photosynthetic, but benefits from occasional feeding of coral foods such as phytoplankton or specialised SPS coral supplements.
Origin and maximum size are not provided, but typical Acropora tenuis specimens can grow several centimetres per year under optimal conditions.
