Acropora humilis (Blue) | XL

Acropora humilis (Blue) is a spectacular small polyp stony (SPS) coral known for its striking blue hues and robust branching structure. This extra large specimen makes an impressive focal point in mature reef aquariums.

Lighting: Requires high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or strong LED systems to maintain vibrant colouration and healthy growth.

Water Flow: Prefers strong, turbulent water movement to mimic natural reef conditions and prevent detritus accumulation.

Placement: Position in the upper to middle regions of the tank where lighting and flow are optimal. Ensure adequate spacing from neighbouring corals to avoid aggression and allow for growth.

Care Level: Recommended for advanced aquarists experienced with SPS corals due to its sensitivity to water quality and stability.

Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing to prevent coral warfare.

Maintain stable water parameters with regular testing and dosing to support this coral’s health. Ideal parameters include temperature 24-26°C, salinity 1.025, calcium 400-450 ppm, alkalinity 8-12 dKH, and magnesium 1250-1350 ppm.
