Acanthastrea

Fleshy corallite

Fleshy polyps separated by distinct raised walls — the classic 'acan,' sold in dense, intensely colored colonies.

  • Often three colors in one polyp: centre, wall, and outer rim
  • Every polyp has its own visible dividing wall
  • Low light and low flow; inflates well past the skeleton when happy
