| 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. Due to
their fast growth (sometimes more than an inch a month), mix of available
species and colors, this is a favorite genus of advanced reef aquarists.
