Acropora dendrum [Acropora dendrum]
Description
Acropora dendrum often appears as a branching coral with a distinctive, tree-like form that can spread across the reef. Divers are frequently drawn to its intricate tips and the way it catches light as you move around it. In healthy areas, the surrounding reef life can be especially active, with small fish weaving through the branches.
