Common Name: Emerald Green Morph Coral
Species Name: Rhodactis sp.
Growth Pattern: Dome-shaped solitary polyps with lobed, textured surface
Polyp Size: 30–70 mm in diameter
Color Variants: Emerald green tips with forest green to teal base; may show aqua or fluorescent tones under actinic light
Texture: Thick, folded surface with bubble-like lobes and gentle undulation
Lighting Requirements: Low to moderate light; PAR range 40–90
Water Flow: Low to moderate
Growth Rate: Moderate; capable of rapid colony expansion during episodic growth phases
Reproduction: Asexual fission and pedal laceration; often occurs in reproductive bursts after periods of dormancy
Care Level: Easy
Placement: Lower to mid-tank zones; ideal for ledges, shaded reef bases, and soft coral foregrounds
Origin: Sustainably cultured, native to Indo-Pacific reefs

The Emerald Green Rhodactis Corallimorph (Rhodactis sp.) is a fleshy, textured coral relative known for its vibrant colour and bold surface structure. Native to the Indo-Pacific, this corallimorph is ideal for bringing depth, motion, and visual contrast to the Living Ecosystem Aquarium, especially in shaded or lower reef zones.

Each polyp ranges from 30–70 mm in diameter, forming a thick, dome-shaped disc covered in lobes, folds, or bubble-like vesicles. The colouration is most vivid at the growth margins, where emerald green, grass-like fluorescence appears on raised ridges and tips, especially under blue or actinic lighting. Deeper tones of forest green or teal may occur toward the centre, often with a subtle sheen or aqua hue depending on lighting angle and flow.

This coral thrives in low to moderate light and gentle water flow, making it perfectly suited for lower tank zones, reef ledges, and shaded slopes. Its fleshy body anchors easily to substrate, and its surface texture adds richness and structure to any aquascape, especially when paired with smoother or branching coral forms.

Morphs
Corallimorphs (Order Corallimorpharia) are soft-bodied, anemone-like and coral-like marine invertebrates known for their hardiness and diverse colour forms, making them highly popular in reef aquariums. 

Reproduction
The Emerald Green Rhodactis reproduces asexually through fission and pedal laceration, slowly developing new individuals from tissue splits or detachment. Like other morph corals, it often exhibits episodic colony growth — remaining unchanged for extended periods, then rapidly producing multiple daughter polyps over a few weeks. This burst-growth behaviour results in fast encrusting of rock surfaces and contributes to a lush, living reef base.

This coral’s vibrant colour, resilience, and ecological function make it an excellent addition to long-term, sustainable reef systems
