Anomastraea is a genus of stony corals in the family Merulinidae. These corals are known for their irregular, encrusting growth forms and can add a unique texture to reef aquariums. They are found in the Indo-Pacific region and are relatively hardy, making them suitable for intermediate aquarists. Anomastraea corals prefer moderate lighting and water flow, and they benefit from supplemental feeding of planktonic foods.
