💚🦠✨ Acropora humilis “Emerald Beast” – Super Polyp
SPS Coral – Thick Branch Green Humilis with Extreme Polyp Extension (Cut to Order Frag)
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful
Colour Form: The “Emerald Beast” Humilis displays deep emerald-to-neon green branches with oversized, highly extended polyps that give the colony a fuzzy, living texture. Under actinic lighting, the green fluoresces strongly while the polyps glow in lighter lime tones. Under white light, the coral reveals solid jade green structure with fresh grass-green polyp tips — dense, rich and powerful.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–9, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Acroporidae
Lighting: High (PAR 250–350)
Water Flow: Strong, random and turbulent
Placement: Upper rockwork / high-energy zones
🧬 Overview
The Acropora humilis “Emerald Beast” – Super Polyp is prized for its thick, chunky branch structure and aggressive polyp extension. This is not a smooth acro — this is texture, volume and movement. When fully extended, the polyps give it a soft, fuzzy halo effect that makes the entire piece look alive and breathing.
This piece is offered cut to order, freshly fragged from a mature, polyp-heavy mother colony with proven colour and extension stability.
Each cut-to-order frag is selected for:
• Strong emerald / neon green saturation
• Oversized, high-density polyp extension
• Thick, compact humilis branch structure
• Healthy, pest-free tissue
• Proven colour stability under high-end LED systems
• Fast encrusting base and powerful growth pattern
An SPS for reefers who value structure + motion + colour in one piece.
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Super polyp humilis responds extremely well to nutrient-rich but stable systems.
Feed 2–3× weekly with:
• Amino acids
• Phytoplankton & zooplankton blends
• Fine coral foods (reef roids, powders)
• Maintain detectable NO₃/PO₄ for maximum polyp extension
📈 Optimal Parameters
| Parameter | Ideal Range |
|---|---|
| Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–9 |
| Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm |
| Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm |
| Nitrate (NO₃) | 2–10 ppm |
| Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.08 ppm |
📍 Placement
Place in upper rockwork with strong, chaotic flow.
Ensure high light exposure to keep colour saturated and polyps extended.
Avoid shaded or low-flow zones — this morph needs energy to perform.
