How should I acclimate coral after delivery?

Open the box promptly, inspect coral health, and float sealed bags to match temperature before introducing livestock. Use clean reef water for placement, avoid sudden salinity or temperature swings, and keep moderate flow and stable lighting during initial recovery.

What water parameters are recommended for long-term coral stability?

Maintain stable salinity, temperature, alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, and nutrient levels with minimal daily swings. Test consistently, avoid abrupt corrections, and match placement and flow to coral type (SPS, LPS, or soft coral) for best color and growth.

What placement and flow are best for SPS corals like this one?

SPS corals generally perform best in stable systems with stronger, turbulent flow and higher light zones. Start with conservative placement, verify polyp response, and adjust gradually to avoid stress from sudden parameter or light swings.

A Word of the Coral
TIA Golden Coin Tenuis is one of the most radiant golden tenuis we've grown. Like Pineapple Express, it carries an intensely bright gold that catches the eye the moment it hits reef lighting. What sets Golden Coin apart is the complexity inside the gold — subtle green and orange work their way across the branches, giving it a richer, more layered palette. The color shifts slightly with lighting and viewing angle, so it never quite looks the same twice.
