Rainbow Fusion Tenuis

About this coral

Rainbow Fusion Tenuis is an SPS coral in the Acropora group (often sold under “tenuis” naming), typically used as a high-light, high-flow centerpiece coral in reef aquariums. In practice, hobbyists choose this type of Acropora to add bright, branching-to-encrusting growth forms and to build a thriving SPS system where water chemistry and lighting remain stable. Group-level Acropora care is generally the same: they rely on strong aquarium lighting and turbulent water movement, and they respond best to consistent reef parameters.

Features:

• SPS (Acropora) coral that typically thrives under strong reef lighting
• Benefits from high, turbulent flow to keep surfaces clean and oxygenated
• Best results come from stable water chemistry rather than frequent swings
• Helps anchor your SPS aquascape when placed in a well-lit, moderate-to-high current zone
• Generally supports growth through photosynthesis, with occasional benefits from suitable reef particulate foods
• Ideal for experienced reef setups that can maintain reliable alkalinity, calcium, and magnesium

Specifications:

• Care level: Advanced (SPS/Acropora)
• Lighting: Strong lighting suitable for SPS (often high PAR reef lighting)
• Water flow: High, turbulent flow to sweep the coral surface
• Water stability: Stable reef parameters; avoid rapid swings
• Temperature: About 72–78°F (22–26°C)
• Salinity: About 1.024–1.026 specific gravity
• pH: About 8.1–8.4
• Alkalinity: About 7–9 dKH
• Calcium: About 400–450 ppm
• Magnesium: About 1200–1350 ppm
• Diet: Primarily photosynthesis; supplemental reef particulate/plankton-type foods may be used
