Characters: Colonies are wide flat plates and tables. Branches are thin, finely structured and widely spaced forming a delicate lattice network. Branchlets are fine and strongly inclined on the plate surface. Axial and incipient axial corallites are indistinguishable. Radial corallites are cup-shaped and are not arranged in rosettes.
Colour: Pale branches with darker corallites.
Similar species: Acropora cytherea, which has more compact branches and more upright branchlets. See also A. hyacinthus, which has thicker and more compact branches and radial corallites arranged in a rosette.
