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. S. Leyte 2013

Montipora, often called "velvet" corals for their smooth appearance, are encrusting, plating and thick finger-like forms. For the family they are particularly hardy and fast growing for aquarists, warranting their great popularity. This genus' members especially need to be gradually adapted from lower to higher light conditions (placed lower-est in the system for the first few weeks) to avoid bleaching (loss of zooxanthellae).
