3. Acropora halmaherae
Namanya juga diambil dari nama pulau, yaitu Pulau Halmahera, sebarannya di Laut Maluku4. Acropora indonesia
Colonies are cushion-shaped, becoming more table-like or tiered. Branches are thin, vertical and close together. Those on the sides of colonies have irregularly upturned ends. Axial corallites are usually prominent. Radial corallites are rasp-like and uniform in size.
Colour: Usually pale to dark grey-brown.

5. Acropora awi
Wallace and Wolstenholme, 1998
Colonies consist of bottlebrush branches which may form a loose thicket but which are usually long and distinct. Branchlets and sub-branchlets are compact and of uniform shape. Axial corallites intergrade with radial corallites and are long and tubular. Small radial corallites are pocket-shaped.
Colour: Grey-brown.
Habitat: Shallow reef slopes and fringing reefs.
Abundance: Common.
Similar species: Acropora echinata , Acropora navini
Taxonomic note: Source reference: Veron (2000). Taxonomic references: Wallace and Wolstenholme (1998), Wallace (1999).
6. Acropora desalwi
7. Acropora suharsonoi
Colonies are flat plates commonly over one metre across and consist of flattened branches that are either radiating or irregular. Axial and incipient axial corallites are long and tubular. Radial corallites are widely spaced, irregular in size and shape and face different directions. They are scattered evenly over branch surfaces.
Colour: Tan, usually with pale branch ends.
Habitat: Protected reef slopes.
Abundance: Uncommon.
Similar species: Acropora elegans
Taxonomic note: Source reference: Veron (2000). Taxonomic references: Wallace and Wolstenholme (1998), Wallace (1999).
Colonies form horizontal tables of spectacular dimensions. Some colonies are irregularly shaped, mostly either due to breakage of the original colony or to the formation of irregular clusters of plates. Plates are side or centrally attached and are composed of radiating, irregularly dividing, interlinked main branches re-linked occasionally by sub-branches. Axial corallites are small and tubular. Radial corallites are widely spaced, tubular, and strongly appressed.
Colour: Brown with pale branch tips.
Habitat: Sheltered reef slopes.
Abundance: Uncommon, but very conspicuous.
Similar species: Acropora clathrata , Acropora pharaonis

6. Acropora desalwi
Laut Banda dan sekitarnya
Wallace, 1994
Colonies are corymbose plates with crowded branchlets. Branchlets at the colony perimeter are mostly horizontal and distinct from those from the rest of the colony. Branchlets may have more than one axial corallite. Axial corallites and incipient axial corallites are long, tubular and upright, except towards plate margins where they are similar to radial corallites.
Colour: Pale brown, blue (which may photograph pink) or green, usually with distinct colouration of the colony margins.
Habitat: Shallow protected reefs.
Abundance: Common.
Similar species: Acropora parapharaonis , Acropora willisae

Nusa Tenggara, Sumarta, Jawa
Wallace, 1994
Colonies are thickets or corymbose clumps with branches consisting primarily of extremely long tapered axial corallites. Incipient axial corallites forming branchlets occur at the base of the main axial corallites.
Colour: Grey.
Habitat: Lower reef slopes.
Abundance: Uncommon.
Similar species: Acropora multiacuta

WhatYouSea sells coral frags on the internet for people with saltwater aquariums. A coral frag is a small piece of live coral that a person can add to their tank,and grow out. The niche should be blogs related to saltwater aquariums, and coral propagation and sales. Let me know if you need more information.
