Acropora glauca [Acropora glauca]
Description
This coral is known for its compact, branching growth that can look like a tidy network of twigs across the reef. Depending on light and water conditions, divers may see bluish to pale tones that make it stand out from darker surrounding corals. It’s a favorite microhabitat for tiny fish and crustaceans that weave in and out of the branches.
