Stony Coral

Acropora pectinata

• Group: Coral
• IUCN status: DD

A branching coral of shallow reef flats and upper slopes, this acropora builds structure in the bright water near the surface. So little has been formally recorded of its range that scientists still rank it as data deficient.

Taxonomy: Animalia › Cnidaria › Hexacorallia › Scleractinia › Acroporidae › Acropora
