Husbandry

Infos from AIMS:
Characters: Colonies are tables, usually side-attached, with generally horizontal radiating anastomosing branches which may form an almost solid plate. There is usually no development of vertical branchlets.

Similar Species: Acropora plumosa. Acropora glauca from far southern localities may have a very similar growth-form. See also A. tutuilensis and A. downingi.
