Acropora tizardi
Brook, 1892

Characters: Colonies are caespitose, composed of thin branches which interlock in three dimensions. Axial corallites are tubular. Radial corallites vary in shape along branches, but are primarily tubular with nariform openings.

Similar Species: Acropora cerealis, which has thicker branches and larger, more widely spaced radial corallites. See also A. proximalis and A. inermis.
