Common name: Staghorn Coral

Stelligera is a genus of small polyp stony corals commonly known as Staghorn Coral. These corals are characterized by their branching growth forms, which resemble the antlers of a stag. They are a vital part of reef ecosystems, providing habitat for a variety of marine life. Staghorn corals are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their intricate structures and rapid growth rates. They require strong lighting, moderate to high water flow, and stable water conditions to thrive. Symbiotic relationships with zooxanthellae algae are crucial for their nutrition, though they also capture plankton from the water column.
