Acropora capillaris [Acropora capillaris]
Description
Acropora capillaris is recognizable by its fine, hair-like branching that can form soft, feathery-looking patches. At dive time, its tiny polyps may be more noticeable in certain light, and the colony’s intricate structure attracts small fish and crustaceans seeking cover.
