Cyphastrea growth form

Is Cyphastrea available only as encrusting? Or does it have other growth forms?

There is branching Cyphastrea. Do a google search and you will find them.

+1 branching cyphastrea is the slowest growing coral I've ever seen. Very pretty but unless you're buying a colony I wouldn't bother. Mine has grown maybe 1" and forked once in the last 2 years
