An Acropora sold under Top Shelf Aquatics' label as A. tenuis. No seller page read for this entry describes it in words, so what follows comes from Top Shelf's own colour tags and from photographs by Top Shelf and two other sellers. Those show a green body with green polyps and orange to peach lips on the radial corallites. The axial tips are the part that moves: blue in some photographs and orange in others, both on the listing Top Shelf captions as its mother colony.
Before you buy one
The record is thin. The only colours any seller states are Top Shelf's tags on its own listings: green on all four, orange on three. Every photograph is under blue light. Plenty of named tenuis are green with coloured tips, so the label is doing the work: ask for the seller's lineage and a photo under white light. One shop sells a Peter Pan under MattV's name rather than Top Shelf's, photographed blue-tipped with no orange, so treat the name as covering more than one look until a seller says otherwise.
Keeping Acropora
High light and strong random flow, up in the rockwork. Peter Pan is expert to keep at a typical PAR of 200–350 in high flow. A typical starting range for this type of coral, not measured on this one.
What Peter Pan goes for
No verified sales yet. A range publishes once 3 dated, checkable records from 3 different sources exist, priced per frag and reported as a median, with what shops ask kept separate from what buyers paid. One frag is a single cut on a plug, whatever its exact size. Colonies, mini colonies and mother stock are excluded rather than averaged in. Nothing on this page is for sale. Shops are typically asking $175 to $363 per frag, median $200, across 3 shops surveyed on 2026-10-19; the full sweep ran $150 to $525. Asking prices are what sellers want, not what buyers paid. On 2026-10-19 it was in stock at 3 surveyed shops: cherrycorals.com, cornbredcorals.com, topshelfaquatics.com.
