Genus
Common name: Acropora
Scientific name: Acropora
Acropora is one of the most prolific coral genera in the world, known for its diverse forms including branching, table-like, and digitate structures. These corals are integral to reef building and are found in a variety of colors. They host symbiotic zooxanthellae, which provide them with energy through photosynthesis. Acropora species require stable conditions with strong lighting, good water flow, and consistent water quality. They are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their beauty and complexity, but are also sensitive to changes, making them more suitable for experienced aquarists.
