Common name: Star Corals

Siderastreidae, commonly known as Star Corals, are a family of stony corals that are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their hardiness and diverse forms. They are characterized by their encrusting or massive growth patterns and can exhibit a variety of colors, often with star-like corallite patterns. These corals are relatively easy to care for, making them suitable for beginners. They thrive in moderate lighting and water flow conditions and can benefit from supplemental feeding of planktonic foods. Siderastreidae species are also known for their resilience to varying water conditions, which can be advantageous for hobbyists with less stable aquarium environments.
