Overview

'TSA Bill Murray' is an aquacultured lineage traded as Acropora tenuis, sold with the TSA prefix as part of its name. It shows a multicolor pattern of blue-purple tips and reddish polyps over a green to yellow body, and is traded alongside Walt Disney as a collector tenuis. Keep it under strong light and strong flow with stable KH, Ca and Mg; rising nutrients strip the warm tones. Price differs widely by aquacultured generation and encrustation. As a trade name, we treat it here as a lineage.

How to identify

Walt Disney has a mainly blue body, whereas Bill Murray shows blue-purple tips over a green to yellow body with distinctly reddish polyps. Listings labeled 'Bill Murray' without the TSA prefix are usually treated as the same lineage.
