Common name: Hedgehog Coral

Echinopora, commonly known as Hedgehog Coral, is a genus of stony corals in the family Merulinidae. These corals are known for their distinctive plate-like or encrusting growth forms and are often found in a variety of colors, including greens, browns, and purples. Echinopora species are popular in the reef aquarium hobby due to their relatively easy care requirements and their ability to adapt to a range of lighting conditions. They are also appreciated for their textured appearance, which adds complexity and diversity to a reef tank's aquascape. Hobbyists should provide moderate lighting and water flow to mimic their natural habitat and promote healthy growth.
