TIA Signature Fairy Garden Tenuis: Pink, Green, and Blue Acropora
The TIA Signature Fairy Garden Tenuis mother colony — the coral your frag is cut from — under Actinic Radion Mobius lighting. Colors shift under different lighting; each piece is cut to order.
What is TIA Signature Fairy Garden Tenuis?
TIA Signature Fairy Garden is an Acropora tenuis with a color combination that reads as magical: soft pinks, bright greens, and hints of blue blend together across the branches. That dreamy look inspired its name. With the polyps fully extended, the colony resembles a tiny garden. It is grown in TIA's legacy display reef and hand-fragged, cut to order.

Care requirements
| Parameter | Target |
|---|---|
| Lighting (PAR) | Moderate to High (250–400); strong blue-spectrum reef lighting enhances the vibrant coloration |
| Flow | Moderate to strong, turbulent; randomized circulation encourages healthy tissue growth and strong polyp extension |
| Placement | Upper half of a mature reef where stable parameters and strong lighting support SPS coral growth |
| Temperature | 76–79 °F |
| Salinity | 1.025–1.026 |
| Alkalinity | 8–9 dKH |
| Calcium | 400–450 ppm |
| Magnesium | 1300–1400 ppm |
Reef safe. Recommended for aquarists experienced with SPS husbandry.
Buying a Fairy Garden frag
Every piece is cut to order from the mother colony. After we cut your frag, we send you a video of it, and we recommend allowing about 14 days of heal time before expecting full recovery. Every order is covered by TIA's 3-day live-arrival guarantee, and TIA has grown and named collector corals since 2008.
