Colonies (or subcolonies) are digitate, with thick branches tapering to a small axial corallite. Colonies exposed to strong wave action have pyramid-shaped branchlets. Radial corallites are uniform in size and usually arranged in rows.
Colour: Blue (which may photograph purple) or cream, usually with pale branch tips of contrasting colours.
Similar species: Acropora humilis, A. globiceps, A. retusa and A. gemmifera.
Habitat: Upper reef slopes.
