Wolverine Tenuis Acropora

About this coral

Wolverine Tenuis Acropora is an aquarium small-polyp stony (SPS) coral in the species *Acropora tenuis*. It’s a branching Acropora that’s typically used by reef keepers to add fast, high-energy SPS structure to well-established tanks—provided you can maintain reef-stable lighting and water movement. Because “Wolverine Tenuis” refers to the shop’s named Acropora, this description focuses on *group-level guidance* for *Acropora tenuis* care rather than unverifiable morph-specific traits.

Features:

• SPS Acropora are light-demanding; plan for strong illumination and gradual acclimation to reduce stress.
• Use strong, turbulent/alternating flow aimed to create indirect, random movement around the branches.
• Place in a stable “high-energy” area of the aquarium so the coral isn’t frequently exposed to changing conditions.
• Aim for consistent reef chemistry, with special attention to alkalinity stability along with calcium and magnesium.
• In closed systems, Acropora generally benefit from supplementation of calcium and trace minerals to support calcification.
• Good long-term results depend more on stable parameters and proper flow than on frequent handling or spot changes.
