/COTW:
Characters: Colonies
are mostly submassive. Corallites are cerioid to subplocoid with
moderately thin walls. Septa are thin and widely spaced. Larger septa
have very long upwardly projecting teeth giving colonies a spiny
appearance. Colonies are usually not fleshy.
Colour: Uniform
or mottled brown, yellow or green.
Similar
Species: Acanthastrea
echinata, which has relatively fleshy corallites with thicker
walls and less elongate septal teeth. These two species may be difficult
to distinguish unless they occur together.
Habitat: Shallow
reef environments.
