Stony Corals (Acroporidae) [Acroporidae]
Description
Acroporid corals are famous for their branching, table-like, or plate-like reef structures that form complex habitat for reef fish. Underwater, they can look like miniature forests, and divers often spot tiny fish sheltering among the branches and polyps.
