Husbandry

Infos from AIMs Website:

Characters: Colonies are bushy or have thick bottlebrush-like branches. Branchlets and sub-branchlets are compact and of uniform shape. Axial and incipient axial corallites intergrade with radial corallites and are distinctively tubular, with truncated ends.

Similar Species: Acropora longicyathus, which has shorter corallites that are not truncated. See also A. elseyi, which does not have branchlets of uniform length and truncated corallites.
