Lovers Tenuis Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Lovers Tenuis Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral with advanced reef care needs. This WYSIWYG Acropora coral is suited to established reef systems prepared for the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions required by SPS corals.

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. Acclimate gradually to the intended intensity, then maintain consistent lighting to support this Acropora coral.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow. Variable circulation helps keep the coral clear of detritus and avoids the stagnant conditions Acropora should not receive.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Secure the frag firmly and allow it time to adjust before making further placement changes.

Temperament

This coral is generally peaceful, but leave room for growth. Plan spacing around neighboring corals so branches have room as the colony develops.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides primary support. Fine coral foods may be offered as an optional supplement when they fit the system’s normal feeding routine.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, and observe the coral closely after changes to flow, lighting, placement, or overall reef maintenance.

Best kept in a stable, established SPS-focused reef system.
