Range: Indo-West Pacific Ocean: Widespread.
Natural Environment: Inhabits shallow upper reef slopes in lagoons and on fringing reefs and usually seen at depths between 15 to 85 feet (5 - 25 m).
General Husbandry: See Acropora abrolhosensis for suggested aquarium husbandry, except for swifter water movement - WM 3.
FYI: A plate-like growth in the wild with upward growing finger-like projections and dark brown or greenish brown, sometimes with light brown or blue branch tips or dark blue with whitish tips.
If cultured specimens have intense colors/different than in the wild, ask under what PAR conditions it was grown in so you may continue to see it maintain its health/colors.
Occasionally seen in the trade.
