Acropora humilis (Green) – Frag is a stunning small polyp stony (SPS) coral prized for its bright green coloration and intricate branching structure. This frag is cultured and grown under controlled conditions, making it a reliable choice for reef enthusiasts looking to add vibrant colour and dynamic growth to their marine tanks.
Lighting Requirements: This species thrives under strong lighting, ideally provided by high-quality LED or metal halide systems that simulate natural reef sunlight. Aim for PAR levels between 250-400 µmol/m²/s to promote healthy pigmentation and growth.
Water Flow: Moderate to high water flow is essential to keep Acropora humilis healthy. This ensures proper gas exchange, nutrient delivery, and removal of detritus from the coral surface.
Placement: Position this frag in the upper to middle regions of the aquarium to receive optimal light and flow. Maintain adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to prevent aggression and allow for growth.
Care Level: Due to its sensitivity to water quality and environmental changes, Acropora humilis is best suited for experienced aquarists who maintain stable, pristine reef conditions.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing. This coral is reef safe but requires room to grow without contact with other corals to avoid competition and damage.
Additional Notes: Regular monitoring of water parameters such as calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium is recommended to support skeletal growth. Frag size may vary; handle with care during acclimation and placement.
