Encrusting horn coral, also known as Ceratoporella nicholsoni, is a type of colonial coral that is characterized by its flattened, encrusting growth form. It is typically found in shallow waters in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Indo-Pacific, including the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Caribbean. Encrusting horn coral colonies are composed of interconnected polyps that secrete a hard, calcium carbonate skeleton. The polyps themselves are small and typically not visible to the naked eye. However, the colony as a whole can take on a variety of colors, including shades of brown, green, and pink. Encrusting horn coral is a hardy and relatively easy-to-care-for species that can make a great addition to a reef aquarium. It can tolerate a wide range of lighting and water flow conditions, and is generally considered to be a peaceful coral that does not pose a threat to other tank inhabitants.
