Rainbow Fusion Tenuis Acropora

About this coral

Rainbow Fusion Tenuis Acropora is an SPS coral in the genus Acropora, sold under the common “tenuis” name. In an aquarium, Acropora are valued for their branching, reef-building look and for adding structure to SPS-dominant setups. Use it to build or expand an SPS aquascape where you can provide strong lighting, strong water movement, and very stable water conditions so the coral can maintain consistent growth and coloration.

Features:

• SPS Acropora-style growth that benefits from strong lighting for photosynthesis
• High-flow water movement helps deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the coral
• Sensitive to rapid swings, so stable, well-maintained water quality is key
• Branching coral form makes it well-suited to aquascapes with good circulation around the branches
• Best kept with other SPS corals that also prefer strong light and high flow
