A Word About the Coral
TIA Miami Vice Tenuis stands out for one reason above all else—it is exceptionally and unmistakably blue.In a hobby where many corals are described as blue but lean teal, purple, or pastel under different lighting, this coral maintains a true-blue appearance that makes it immediately recognizable.
The colony develops a rich electric-blue body with lighter growth areas and subtle contrasting accents. For collectors specifically searching for a true-blue Acropora, TIA Miami Vice Tenuis is a standout piece.
