Description The corallum of this species may be encrusting, massive, groups of ridges or may consist of stubby branches. The form taken depends on the degree of exposure - the encrusting forms are found in shallow water on seaward reefs of oceanic atolls in the Indian Ocean, for example, while progressively more fragile forms occur in progressively more sheltered water. Corallites have the appearance of pale beads. There is no single or larger axial corallite on the ends of those coralla which have branches. Acropora cuneata which is very similar has been reported from two locations in the Indian Ocean (Sheppard, 1998).
Colonies are encrusting plates, ridges or columns, without axial corallites. Colour: pale cream or brown. Abundance: Occurs in all reef environments (Veron, 1986). [details]
