Acropora arabensis [Acropora arabensis]
Description
This branching Acropora can create a delicate, reef-wide texture, with many slender branches reaching into the water column. Divers may notice how it frames the surrounding sand and rock, making it a standout feature in mixed coral areas. As you hover, you might see small reef organisms peeking from between branches, turning the coral into a bustling micro-world.
