🟢🪸 Acropora tenuis “Emerald Pulse”
WYSIWYG Specimen – Vibrant Emerald Green Tenuis Acropora
🔹 Quick Stats
Care Level: Advanced
Temperament: Peaceful (requires spacing from neighbouring SPS colonies)
Colour Form: The Emerald Pulse Tenuis displays bright emerald-green tissue with luminous neon-green highlights along the branch tips and coralite edges. Under actinic lighting the coral radiates an intense fluorescent green glow while the polyps create a subtle shimmering texture across the delicate branches. Under balanced white lighting the colony reveals rich emerald tones mixed with vibrant lime-green accents that pulse across the coral structure, giving this tenuis its energetic and eye-catching appearance.
Water Conditions: 24–26 °C, dKH 7.5–8.5, pH 8.0–8.4, sg 1.024–1.026
Family: Acroporidae
Lighting: High (PAR 250–350)
Water Flow: Strong and turbulent
Placement: Upper rockwork or high-energy reef zones
Type: WYSIWYG
🧬 Overview
The Acropora tenuis “Emerald Pulse” is a vibrant SPS coral prized for its glowing green coloration and elegant branching structure typical of the tenuis species. Its slender branches and well-defined coralites create a refined and intricate colony shape that stands out among SPS reefs.
The vivid emerald pigmentation gives this coral a powerful fluorescent effect under modern reef LED lighting, making it especially striking during evening actinic viewing periods. The coral’s glowing growth tips and textured polyp coverage create the illusion of a living pulse of green light flowing across the colony.
As the coral matures, it develops an intricate branching network that adds both movement and visual depth to SPS-dominated reef aquascapes.
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:
• Bright emerald-green coloration
• Elegant tenuis branching structure
• Healthy tissue and active growth tips
• Defined coralite texture and polyp extension
• Strong fluorescence under reef LED lighting
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Like most Acropora, 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 systems
📈 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 healthy skeletal growth.
Allow sufficient spacing between neighbouring SPS colonies to support natural branch expansion and coloration development.
