Wild Tenuis placement

[Mann_Cave_Corals]

Hey guys, Just wondering if anybody keeps Tenuis Acros in the 200 par range and still get good PE and color?

Bump!

Want to know also, as my acros are in higher par but wanna maybe lower them!

This frag was mounted in the 180-200 range. I would't try to be so specific in actual par range or numbers........Just view the tank levels as 3 levels ------low, medium, high. Mount the coral and let it tell you how it likes it in color and growth.

If it's wild, initial placement will depend on how it looks when you get it in. Anything that has pale colors or a light tan appearance I'd put low at first.

@Big E how long in between are these pics?

It's hard make a growth comparison from those photos as I cut a full colony worth of frags between some of those pictures.

This is a better comparison as it was untouched. This is 7 months of growth without fragging the coral. Second pic it was 3" tall.

That piece looks amazing .. The piece I have did come kind of pale. So I will leave it where it is and see what happens. Thanks!

Wow! I know this is a tenuis and not an Echinata, but it reminds me of the Aquascene Ice Fire, but with bright orange polyps.

Sexy Corals Orange Passion

It's by far the nicest of the Orange Passion morphs due to the true orange polyps. I've always gotten comments from visitors when it's viewed in person.

It kinda grew weird like an echinata at first due to the flow in that area........more up than branching out into a corymbose shape.
