What is TIA Pink Daisy Tenuis?
TIA Pink Daisy Tenuis is an Acropora tenuis that has grown in TIA's system since 2021, making it one of the long-established colonies. Its most noticeable feature is intense pink coloration across the branches, paired with soft blue growth tips and bright yellow corallites — when fully colored, the colony has a very clean, unmistakably pink look.
The story
Growing in TIA's reef system since 2021, Pink Daisy is one of the long-established Acropora colonies: an intense pink body offset by soft blue growth tips and bright yellow corallites — when fully colored, the colony has a very clean, unmistakably pink look. It is hand-fragged for limited release from the established mother colony.
