Description:
|
Characters: Colonies are table-like, up to 2 metres across, and consist of masses of fused horizontal branches. Peripheral branches are all horizontal; those towards the colony centre have upturned ends. All branches have blunt ends and are neatly arranged. Radial corallites are usually in two sizes, the larger of which have flaring lips. The coenosteum is coarse, giving a rough appearance to branches.
Colour: Green, white, cream, rarely pale brown.
Similar species: Acropora yongei, which has similar corallites but does not have upturned branches.
Habitat: Restricted to shallow fringing reefs and upper reef slopes where Acropora diversity is high.
Abundance: Uncommon but distinctive.
