Acanthastrea corals
Acanthastrea corals are classified as LPS corals and have large, fleshy polyps. They come in a wide variety of colors and are extremely popular in marine aquariums. In the aquarium, they feel particularly comfortable under moderate, blue-colored lighting. Occasional nighttime feeding will accelerate their growth.
Acanthastrea aka Micromussa aka Homophyllia
Some species of the Acanthastrea group are now taxonomically classified as Micromussa or Homophyllia . Since Acanthastrea is still the most common name in marine aquariums, we continue to use it as a synonym.
