Captivating TNT Anacropora: A Fiery Addition to Your Reef

Discover the Anacropora spinosa “TNT,” a stunning SPS coral with a vibrant orange base and fiery pink or magenta tips, perfect for advanced reef aquarists.

Overview

The Anacropora spinosa, often referred to as the “TNT” morph, is a spectacular specimen for experienced reef keepers. Its smooth, serpentine branches showcase a striking contrast, with a base of molten orange that transitions into vibrant hot pink or magenta tips. This SPS coral, with its minimal polyp fuzz, creates a visually intense accent piece in any mature reef aquarium, thriving under specific lighting and flow conditions. Due to its rarity and unique coloration, the TNT Anacropora is a highly sought-after coral.

Care Level

The Anacropora spinosa “TNT” is considered an intermediate to advanced care level coral. It requires stable water parameters, specific lighting, and consistent water flow. Its sensitivity means it is best suited for experienced aquarists who can maintain these conditions diligently.

Tank Essentials

A minimum tank size of 200 litres (44 gallons) is recommended for the Anacropora spinosa “TNT.” It thrives in stable water parameters with a temperature range of 24-28°C (75.2-82.4°F), a pH of 8.1-8.4, and a salinity of 1.025-1.026 SG. High, chaotic water flow is essential for its health.

Diet

As a photosynthetic coral, the Anacropora spinosa “TNT” derives most of its energy from light. However, it benefits from occasional target feeding with fine powdered foods, plankton, or zooplankton to supplement its diet and promote vibrant coloration and growth.
