The Walt Disney Acropora (Acropora tenuis 'Walt Disney') is a premium, aquacultured small polyp stony (SPS) coral strain with a cult following in the reef aquarium hobby, originating from selective breeding for its vibrant, multi-tonal fluorescence that evokes a "magical" display under optimal lighting—making it a rewarding centerpiece for intermediate to advanced SPS enthusiasts.
Structure: Thin, upright, finger-like branches that radiate in a bushy, tabular pattern from an encrusting base, forming dense, vertical colonies with a lightweight, fractal silhouette; polyps are small and extend fully when healthy, giving it a "hairy" look.
Coloration: Pale green to cream skeletal base transitioning to vivid pink, purple, and blue tips with bright green polyps for high contrast; under heavy blue/actinic lighting, the hues fluoresce intensely—purples deepen to violet, pinks glow neon, and greens pop electric—for an iridescent, confetti-like effect that varies by tank conditions.
Size and Growth: Frags typically start at 0.75-1 inch, with fast growth rates once acclimated—colonies can reach 4-6 inches in 6-12 months, thriving in intense light.
