Typical depth: 0–30 m
IUCN status: LC

A stony coral of protected upper reef slopes and lagoons, this colony spreads its fleshy polyps over the reef in warm shallow water down to about 30 metres. It draws energy from the algae in its tissues, which leaves it prone to bleaching when the water warms too far.
