A Word of the Coral
I always think of TIA Mosaic as the cousin of our best-known Chromaflare grafted Tenuis.
I’ve been growing Signature Mosaic for just as long as Chromaflare, but somehow this colony has grown to more than twice the size. At this point, even my widest macro setup can’t fit the whole colony in the frame.
What I love most is how evenly grafted it is. Almost every branch shows grafting, and in some ways it’s even more consistent than Chromaflare.
Right now, these are the only two grafted Tenuis I’ve been growing long term. I’d really love to collect more grafted Tenuis in the future!!
