Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Anomastraea irregularis are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Anomastraea irregularis, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Anomastraea irregularis, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Habitat: Turbid environments at the base of reefs and in intertidal pools.

Abundance: Common in south-east Africa, uncommon elsewhere.
