The ORA® Green Humilis Acropora Coral is a vibrant green variety of Acropora coral sure to inject exciting visual interest to your reef aquarium landscape. In addition to its exotic coloration, the ORA® Green Humilis Acropora Coral exhibits a compact, growth habit with thick, finger-like branches. This compact, shrub-like growth habit and exquisite coloration naturally draws wanted attention, making the ORA® Green Humilis Acropora Coral a fantastic specimen to showcase your mixed reef aquarium.

The ideal conditions for the ORA® Green Humilis Acropora Coral is an established reef aquarium with bright lighting achieved with T-5s, powerful LEDs or the more intense metal halides. Under the right conditions, the growth rate of Acropora corals is much more rapid than most other corals found in an established reef aquarium.

To maximize the growth rate of your ORA® Green Humilis Acropora Coral, it is imperative to maintain a high pH, alkalinity, and calcium levels and to keep phosphate and nitrate levels as close to zero as possible. If conditions are ideal, it can also be cultured and grown into a new colony from living fragments or broken pieces.

In addition to high lighting conditions and near pristine water quality, the ORA® Green Humilis Acropora Coral benefits from strong, intermittent water flow within the aquarium. This is best accomplished with a wavemaker and multiple powerheads. For continued good health, the ORA® Green Humilis Acropora Coral requires the addition of calcium, strontium, iodine, magnesium supplements, as well as trace elements.

The symbiotic algae zooxanthellae hosted within the ORA® Green Humilis Acropora Coral supplies the coral a majority of its nutrition. However, it will benefit from the addition of various types of phyto and zooplankton.
