Cluster (Corymbose) SPS Corals

What differentiates the Cluster morphology for SPS corals is the tightness of the branches. Much like the Bushy type, Cluster corals have branches originating from a central point. However, cluster branches thend to be very thick and sturdy. Certainly some of the most commonly kept corals are of the cluster type, including what may be one of the most popular species of SPS coral, the Acropora Millepora. Advanced reef keepers are able to keep many corals in this morphology with stunning bright colors, while the slow growth of certain species make them very desirable to collectors.
