Acropora humilis (Green) is a spectacular SPS coral prized for its vibrant green coloration and robust branching structure. This extra large specimen is ideal for experienced reef keepers looking to add a striking focal point to their marine aquarium.
Lighting Requirements: Requires strong, high-intensity lighting such as metal halide, T5, or high-output LED systems to maintain optimal colour and growth.
Water Flow: Prefers moderate to strong, turbulent water flow to mimic natural reef conditions and prevent detritus accumulation.
Placement: Position higher in the tank to ensure adequate light exposure. Provide ample space from neighbouring corals to avoid aggressive interactions and allow for healthy growth.
Care Level: Moderate to advanced. Stable water parameters and consistent maintenance are essential for thriving Acropora humilis.
Reef Compatibility: Yes, with adequate spacing from other corals to prevent stinging or overgrowth.
Regular monitoring of water chemistry, including calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium, is recommended to support skeletal development. This coral benefits from supplemental feeding with planktonic foods or specialised coral feeds.
Origin: Not Provided.
Maximum Size: Typically grows up to 30 cm in branching diameter under optimal conditions.
