Acropora elseyi [Acropora elseyi]
Description
This Acropora species is known for its branching form that can look like a network of slender arms spreading across the reef. Underwater, divers may see the colony’s texture and spacing change with the angle of view, especially when currents gently move the branches. Small reef creatures frequently shelter among the branches, making it a lively micro-habitat.
