Common name: Porites Corals

Poritidae is a family of stony corals commonly referred to as Porites or Finger Corals. They are known for their slow growth and massive, robust structures, often forming large colonies that can become dominant features on a reef. Porites species exhibit a variety of growth forms, including branching, mounding, and encrusting. They are symbiotic with zooxanthellae, which aid in their calcium carbonate production. Poritidae corals are relatively hardy in the aquarium setting, tolerating a range of lighting conditions, but they do best with moderate to high water flow and stable water chemistry.
