Husbandry

Infos from AIMS:
Characters: Colonies are table-like, up to 2 metres across, and consist of masses of fused horizontal branches. Peripheral branches are all horizontal; those towards the colony centre have upturned ends. All branches have blunt ends and are neatly arranged. Radial corallites are usually in two sizes, the larger of which have flaring lips.

Similar Species: Acropora yongei, which has similar corallites but does not have upturned branches.
