Common name: Stony Corals

Scleractinia, commonly known as stony corals or hard corals, form the structural foundation of coral reefs. These corals are characterized by their hard calcium carbonate skeletons, which provide support and protection for the coral polyps. They engage in a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, photosynthetic algae that live within their tissues, providing the corals with essential nutrients through photosynthesis. This symbiosis is crucial for the health of coral reefs and the marine ecosystem. Stony corals are diverse, with many species offering a range of colors and forms, making them highly sought after in the reefkeeping hobby for their aesthetic appeal and their role in building reef structures in aquariums.
