Acropora [Acropora]

Description

Acropora is one of the most widespread and visually dominant genera of corals in reef environments. It is characterized by its branching, tree-like structures and a high diversity of forms, including table-like, staghorn, and bushy shapes. Acropora species play a crucial role in reef building and provide habitat for a wide range of marine life. They are fast-growing under optimal conditions but are also highly sensitive to environmental stressors.
