A Word of the Coral
TIA Maraschino Tenuis has an interesting story in our system. When we first acquired this piece, it displayed a soft light pink coloration. After nearly two years growing in our display reef, the coral gradually transformed into what you see today — a striking combination of deep maraschino red polyps over a cool blue-teal base. This kind of color evolution is one of the reasons Acropora tenuis is so loved by SPS collectors. Under stable reef conditions, strong lighting, and time, the coral continues to deepen in contrast and develop richer pigmentation.

Care Requirements

Lighting
Moderate to High PAR (250–400). Best coloration develops under strong blue spectrum reef lighting such as Radion, Hydra, or other SPS-focused LED systems.

Water Flow
Moderate to Strong, turbulent flow. Randomized reef circulation encourages healthy tissue growth and full polyp extension typical of Acropora tenuis.

Placement
Best placed in the upper half of a mature reef aquarium where lighting and flow support SPS coral growth.

Water Parameters
Temperature: 76–79°F
Salinity: 1.025–1.026
Alkalinity: 8–9 dKH
Calcium: 400–450 ppm
Magnesium: 1300–1400 ppm

Reef Compatibility
Reef safe. Recommended for reef aquarists experienced with SPS corals and stable reef systems.
