Introducing the Antler Branching (Montipora spp) coral! This captivating coral belongs to the horrida group of Acroporas, known for their unique rough-surfaced branches. With its branching growth form, it has earned common names like Antler Coral, Staghorn Acropora, Staghorn Coral, or Branching Acropora.
What sets the Antler Coral apart is its ease of care compared to other Acroporas. Despite requiring excellent care like its counterparts, it is considered one of the more manageable Acros to keep in aquariums. Identifying this stunning coral is a breeze, as it features same-sized corallites. While it typically comes in creams, brown, and pale gray, aqua-cultured specimens offer a wide array of blues, greens, and even yellows. Keep your aquarium vibrant and thriving with this delightful addition.
Not only does the Antler Coral add beauty to your aquarium, but it also plays a significant role in reef formations. Acropora and Montipora corals account for one-third of all reef-building coral species worldwide. They are highly versatile, thriving even in varying water temperatures, salinity changes, water movement, and lighting conditions. In the wild, they are the pioneers of saltwater reefs, quickly multiplying and forming the foundation for other coral species.
