Cyphastrea

Cyphastrea corals are small, encrusting stony corals that are popular among reef aquarium hobbyists. They belong to the family of Merulinidae and are found in a range of colors, including brown, green, purple, blue, and pink.

Cyphastrea corals are relatively easy to care for and are a great choice for beginner and intermediate hobbyists. They are known for their encrusting capability, which means they grow outward and cover surfaces, which conveniently makes it a very good candidate for coral propagation.
