There are many different varieties, and the patterns of growth and formation are also different. Most of the things seen in aquarium markets are short, densely branched structures.

The ideal living environment is a metal halide lamp that provides strong light. Thrives in strong light. Under good conditions, staghorn corals usually grow faster than other corals.
In order to make it grow fully, it is necessary to maintain a high PH, salinity and calcium content, and reduce the content of phosphate and nitrate as close to zero as possible. If the conditions are right, new individuals will grow on the living debris that falls.
While providing enough light and good water quality, it also likes strong, intermittent water flow. It is best to place a wavemaker and multiple pumps in the cylinder.
Most of their nutrients come from photosynthesis, but it is best to supplement with some plankton and green algae.
