Acropora austera [Acropora austera]
Description
This species forms sturdy, branching growth that can create a dramatic, three-dimensional reef “forest.” Divers may notice how fish weave in and out of the branches, while the coral’s structure helps break up currents and create calmer pockets for small reef life.
