Acropora, with a couple of hundred species, are what most people
picture when they hear the word "coral". Most are branched tree-like or
interwoven, with fast growing and often differently colored apical
corallites (growing tips). These are the mass spawners, with their axial
corallites releasing sex cells seasonally. S. Leyte 2013 |

Montipora, often called "velvet" corals for their
smooth appearance, are encrusting, plating and thick finger-like forms.
For the family they are particularly hardy and fast growing for
aquarists, warranting their great popularity. This genus' members
especially need to be gradually adapted from lower to higher light
conditions (placed lower-est in the system for the first few weeks) to
avoid bleaching (loss of zooxanthellae).
