Overview
'Homewrecker' is an aquacultured lineage traded as Acropora tenuis, distinguished by a body that shifts through red, orange, yellow, green and blue in a rainbow pattern. The name is a joke about wanting it badly enough to wreck the household budget, and it is traded as a representative collector tenuis. Keep it under strong light and strong flow with stable KH, Ca and Mg; under weak light the warm colors fade toward a plain green. Encrustation and aquacultured generation strongly affect price. As a trade name, we treat it here as a lineage.
How to identify
Walt Disney pairs a blue body with warm tips, while Homewrecker shifts the whole body through many colors with blue never dominating. Faded pieces are hard to tell apart, so check the color of a grown-out mother colony when buying.
