Water Flow: Strong and turbulent
Placement: Upper rockwork or high-energy reef zones
Type: WYSIWYG
🧬 Overview
The Acropora tenuis “Emerald Pulse” is a striking SPS coral known for its glowing green pigmentation and elegant tenuis branching structure. Its slender branches and defined coralites give the colony a refined and intricate appearance typical of premium tenuis varieties.
The vivid emerald coloration becomes especially intense under modern reef LED lighting, producing a strong fluorescent glow that makes this coral stand out within SPS reef aquascapes. The bright growth tips and textured polyp coverage create a dynamic visual effect, giving the coral its “pulsing” emerald look.
As the colony matures, the delicate branching structure develops into a dense and elegant formation that adds brightness and movement to SPS-dominated reef systems.
WYSIWYG:
You will receive the exact coral shown in the photo. Each specimen is individually photographed and selected for colour saturation, structure and coral health.
Selected for:
• Intense emerald-green coloration
• Elegant tenuis branching structure
• Healthy tissue and active growth tips
• Strong fluorescence under reef LED lighting
• Excellent colour contrast in SPS reef aquascapes
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Like most Acropora species, Emerald Pulse relies mainly on photosynthesis but benefits from nutrient-balanced reef environments and occasional coral feeding.
Recommended feeding 1–2× weekly:
• Fine plankton blends or powdered coral foods
• Amino acid supplements for SPS systems
• Broadcast feeding in mature reef aquariums
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Place in the upper aquascape where strong lighting and turbulent water flow are present. Acropora tenuis thrives in high-energy reef zones where strong flow keeps the coral clean and promotes vibrant coloration.
Allow sufficient spacing between neighbouring SPS colonies to support natural branch development.
