Scientific name: Acroporidae
Acroporidae is a family of small polyp stony corals, commonly known as staghorn corals or table corals. They are among the most important reef-building corals and are known for their fast growth rates and complex, branching structures. Acroporidae species are highly diverse and can be found in a variety of colors and forms. They have a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, which are photosynthetic algae that provide the corals with nutrients. In the reef aquarium, they require strong lighting, moderate to high water flow, and stable water conditions to thrive.
