Description This species forms horizontal tables. Branches show considerable anastomosing, so that the central portions of tables may become solid plates. Branchlets and elongated axial corallites turn upwards, vertically or at irregular angles, over the entire surface of the table. These are generally more individual and pronounced than in A. hyacinthus. Many branchlets also continue horizontally. The coenosteum is rough, with long cylindrical radial corallites. Branch tips may be very similar to those of A. pharaonis, but the two species are distinguishable by colony shape. This species is common in shallow water to about 20 m depth, but only in areas without strong wave action. It prefers well lit habitats, and is therefore often found in back reef conditions where there are reflective sandy patches (Sheppard, 1998).
Colonies are wide flat tables which are thin and finely structured. Fine upward projecting branchlets have exsert axial corallites. Polyps are frequently extended during the day. Colour: Uniform pale cream, brown or blue. Abundance: one of the most abundant corals of upper reef slopes and it may occur in lagoons and lower reef slopes (Veron, 1986). [details]

Biology zooxanthellate [details]Description This species forms horizontal tables. Branches show considerable anastomosing, so that the central portions of tables may become solid plates. Branchlets and elongated axial corallites turn upwards, vertically or at irregular angles, over the entire surface of the table. These are generally more individual and pronounced than in A. hyacinthus. Many branchlets also continue horizontally. The coenosteum is rough, with long cylindrical radial corallites. Branch tips may be very similar to those of A. pharaonis, but the two species are distinguishable by colony shape. This species is common in shallow water to about 20 m depth, but only in areas without strong wave action. It prefers well lit habitats, and is therefore often found in back reef conditions where there are reflective sandy patches (Sheppard, 1998).
Colonies are wide flat tables which are thin and finely structured. Fine upward projecting branchlets have exsert axial corallites. Polyps are frequently extended during the day. Colour: Uniform pale cream, brown or blue. Abundance: one of the most abundant corals of upper reef slopes and it may occur in lagoons and lower reef slopes (Veron, 1986). [details]
Synonymy Listed as synonym of A. hyacinthus (Dana) according to Fauré (1977). Maybe conspecific with A. hyacinthus in Vines (1986). Type locality: Tahiti (Veron, 1986). [details]
