Tear Jerker Tenuis Acropora Coral

Tear Jerker Tenuis Acropora Coral - Care Requirements

Tear Jerker Tenuis Acropora Coral is an Acropora small-polyp stony coral with an advanced care profile. This WYSIWYG Acropora is suited to established reef systems that can provide the strong lighting, turbulent circulation, and consistent conditions SPS corals require.

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 an appropriate middle-to-upper reef position.

Flow

Use strong, random, turbulent flow that reaches the coral from changing directions. Avoid low-flow areas where detritus can settle around the branches.

Placement

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

Temperament

Give this generally peaceful Acropora space for future growth. Avoid placing it where neighboring corals may contact its branches as colonies expand.

Feeding

Strong lighting provides primary support. Fine coral foods can be offered optionally, with careful feeding that does not compromise overall water quality.

General Care

Maintain highly stable alkalinity, salinity, temperature, nutrients, and lighting. Avoid rapid parameter corrections, monitor the coral’s response after changes, and make adjustments gradually in this advanced-care SPS environment.

Best maintained in a stable, mature reef with purposeful flow and lighting.
