Genus
Common name: Star Coral
Scientific name: Astreopora
Astreopora is a genus of stony corals in the family Acroporidae, commonly known as Star Corals. These corals are characterized by their star-shaped corallites, which give them a distinctive appearance. They are found in a variety of colors, often with contrasting hues that can add visual interest to a reef aquarium. Astreopora species are generally hardy and can be a good choice for intermediate to advanced reefkeepers. They thrive in well-lit environments with moderate water flow, and while they can tolerate a range of water conditions, stability is key to their health.
