Acropora bushyensis [Acropora bushyensis]
Description
As the name suggests, this coral often grows in bushy, tightly branched forms that stand out on the reef. Divers may see its branches packed closely together, creating shaded pockets where small reef creatures settle and where fish often pause before darting away.
