Circus Freak Tenuis Acropora

Circus Freak Tenuis Acropora - Care Requirements

Circus Freak Tenuis Acropora is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral with an advanced care profile. This WYSIWYG Acropora is suited to established reef systems able to provide strong lighting, turbulent water movement, and consistent conditions. Its care needs align with the demands of SPS-focused reef keeping.

This is a WYSIWYG coral, meaning the coral shown in the photo is the exact piece you will receive.

Quick Care Summary

• Lighting: Strong reef lighting
• Flow: Strong, random and turbulent flow
• Placement: Middle to upper reef areas after acclimation
• Temperament: Generally peaceful but space for growth
• Care Level: Advanced

Lighting

Provide strong reef lighting and acclimate gradually to its final intensity. Consistent lighting helps this Acropora settle into middle to upper reef placement.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches the colony from varied directions. Avoid low-flow or stagnant areas where detritus can settle around the coral.

Placement

Place it in the middle to upper reef after gradual acclimation. Secure the frag where it receives strong light and broad, changing circulation.

Temperament

Allow room for growth around this generally peaceful Acropora. Give it adequate spacing from neighboring corals so expanding branches have room and maintenance remains manageable.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides its primary support. Fine coral foods may be offered optionally as part of a balanced reef feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and observe polyp condition and tissue response as the coral acclimates to its placement.

Best maintained in a stable, mature reef with attentive SPS care.
