Anacropora / Thorny Coral (Red/Pink) are found in the Indo-Pacific off the coast of Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Tonga and on the Great Barrier Reef.

Although it has a similar name to Acropora, Anacropora is more similar to montipora. They have widely distributed polyps without any corallites. They do not require as much light as Acropora, although they can be kept at a similar light output. This is a great coral for anyone who wants something similar to Acropora, without the sensitivity of Acropora.
