Honeydew Tenuis Colony

About this coral

Honeydew Tenuis Colony is an SPS coral colony sold for aquarium use, commonly kept under Acropora-type husbandry. In practice, it’s valued for its branching/tenuis-style growth form (as provided by the colony) and for adding an active, space-filling coral presence to reef aquascapes. Because Acropora corals rely on consistent conditions, it’s best suited to tanks with stable, well-established water quality and strong light and flow.

Features:

• SPS (Acropora-type) colony that can contribute a branching silhouette to the reef
• General Acropora-style care emphasizes strong lighting for adequate photosynthesis
• High, well-distributed flow helps keep surfaces clean and supports healthy tissue
• Best used on stable live rock where flow and light can be maintained long-term
• Requires mature, consistent parameters to reduce stress and help it acclimate
• Ideal for aquarists focused on SPS growth and long-term system stability

Specifications:

• Coral group: SPS coral (Acropora-type care, colony)
• Lighting: Strong aquarium lighting (SPS-level)
• Water flow: High flow with good distribution (turbulent/indirect, not stagnant)
• Water parameters: Stable reef-style parameters
• Temperature: Typically maintained in a reef range around the mid-20°C (about 23–27°C)
• Salinity: Reef-appropriate salinity (about 1.025–1.027 specific gravity)
• pH: Reef-typical pH (about 8.1–8.4)
• Alkalinity: Reef-typical alkalinity (about 7–9 dKH)
• Calcium: Reef-typical calcium (about 380–450 ppm)
• Magnesium: Reef-typical magnesium (about 1200–1400 ppm)
