Staghorns and other Branching SPS Corals

When most people describe the shapes of corals in the coral reefs, they are describing staghorn corals. Certainly the Acropora Formosa is one of the most prevelant species in the reefs, where forests of these corals provide hiding places for thousands of reef fish and other creatures. Staghorns are popular corals for reef aquariums, as well. Currently, a wide variety of colors and species are available and advancements in reef tank care have made keeping these corals and having them thrive in captivity easier than ever before.
