Acropora divaricata [Acropora divaricata]
Description
Acropora divaricata forms spreading, branching colonies with branches that diverge outward, giving it a lacy, open look. Divers may see the coral’s surface shimmering in the light while small crustaceans and juvenile fish use the branches for protection.
