Water Colors Tenuis Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Water Colors Tenuis Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral with advanced care requirements. This WYSIWYG Acropora is suited to established reef systems that can provide the intense lighting, active circulation, and consistent water chemistry expected 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 and acclimate gradually to the intended intensity. Consistent lighting is important for this Acropora, especially when moving it into a new system.

Flow

Provide strong, random, turbulent flow that keeps water moving around the branches. Avoid low-flow or stagnant areas where detritus can settle.

Placement

Place it in middle to upper reef areas after acclimation. Start with a secure position and adjust placement gradually as it adapts to the system’s lighting and flow.

Temperament

It is generally peaceful, but leave adequate space for future growth. Plan its placement so expanding branches do not crowd neighboring corals.

Feeding

Light provides its primary support. Fine coral foods may be offered as an optional supplement when they fit the aquarium’s established nutrient management.

General Care

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

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