ACROPORA MURICATA
GROUP
Diagnosis
Colonies arborescent. Radial corallites tubular, evenly sized or mixed sizes; coenosteum reticulate, simple spinules, variation depends on the degree of calcification of the colonies (
Wallace, 1999
).
Most of the recent species occur exclusively subtidally (
Wallace, 1999
). Only
A. grandis
is represented in the fossil record of
Indonesia
