Characters: Colonies form compact irregular corymbose clumps with distal branches much finer than proximal branches. Axial corallites are long and tubular. Radial corallites are widely spaced, immersed on main branches, scale-like on distal branches.
Colour: White branches with contrastingly coloured radial corallites. This colour pattern is useful for identification.
Similar species: Acropora selago, which has a more regular branching pattern with larger and more closely spaced scale-like radial corallites not intermixed with immersed corallites. See also A. sekiseiensis.
