Acropora tenuis (Pinkish) is a captivating small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its delicate pinkish coloration and intricate branching structure. This medium-sized specimen is perfect for advanced marine aquarists looking to enhance their reef tanks with a visually striking SPS coral.
Lighting Requirements: Acropora tenuis thrives under strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems. Providing sufficient PAR levels will support healthy growth and vibrant colouration.
Water Flow: Moderate to strong, turbulent water flow is essential to prevent detritus accumulation and to promote gas exchange. This coral benefits from varied flow patterns rather than direct, constant currents.
Placement: Position this coral higher in the aquarium to ensure it receives adequate light and water movement. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and ensure optimal health.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity to water quality and lighting, Acropora tenuis is best suited for experienced reef keepers who can maintain stable, pristine conditions.
Compatibility: Reef safe with adequate spacing from other corals. Avoid placing near aggressive species that may cause damage.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water parameters including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is recommended to support skeletal growth. Stable temperature and salinity are also critical.
