Walt Disney Tenuis vs TSA Vivid Confetti: SPS Cultivar Comparison
Neutral side-by-side from Fast Aquatics editorial. We list both originators in our marketplace - this comparison exists to help you choose by intent, not by vendor.
Walt Disney Tenuis
Originator
JF / Jason Fox lineage
First documented
mid-2010s
Pattern
Pink base with blue and green sectional coloring, cyan corallites
Adult size
Adult colony 8-14 inches, tenuis growth form (fine branches)
Typical price
$200-800 per frag (verified JF-lineage) / $80-250 unverified lineage
Keeper notes
Multi-color signature SPS. Requires ~6 weeks acclimation to new tank lighting. Color-stable once dialed in.
TSA Vivid Confetti
Originator
Top Shelf Aquatics
First documented
~2016
Pattern
Red/pink base with yellow and green polyp centers, mottled coloration
Adult size
Adult colony 6-10 inches, millepora-style growth
Typical price
$100-400 per frag
Keeper notes
Top Shelf Aquatics line. Faster color development than Walt Disney but less dramatic multi-color layering.
Husbandry overlap
Both Acropora species. High light (250-400 PAR), high random flow, 8.0-8.8 dKH alkalinity, calcium 420-440 ppm, magnesium 1300-1400 ppm. Nitrate 1-5 ppm target, phosphate 0.03-0.06 ppm. Both are photo-sensitive and STN if moved to high light too quickly - acclimate over 6-8 weeks with layered egg crate diffusers.
Pick by intent
Choose Walt Disney Tenuis if
You want the marquee multi-color signature acro with documented JF lineage. Better long-term investment.
Choose TSA Vivid Confetti if
You want faster color development and lower entry price. Good stepping stone before investing in a Walt Disney.
