ASD Rainbow Tenuis Acropora

About this coral

ASD Rainbow Tenuis Acropora is an SPS coral in the genus Acropora, commonly identified as Acropora tenuis in coral trade. It’s prized as a reef-display coral for its branching growth form and for adding high-contrast structure to SPS aquascapes. In practice, it’s best used in established reef systems where lighting and water movement can be maintained consistently, helping the coral remain healthy and capable of continuing to grow.

Features:

• SPS Acropora typically benefits from strong lighting to support photosynthesis
• High, directed water flow helps keep the coral’s tissues supplied and detritus clear
• Designed for placement in stable, mature reef systems with consistent water chemistry
• Branching form can create a visually “lacy” look in appropriate SPS aquascapes
• Works best when you maintain clean, well-oxygenated water and avoid rapid parameter swings
• A good choice for hobbyists focused on SPS care and tank stability
