Get a closer, detailed picture of a single polyp or small group. After all, there are MANY species of Acanthastrea.

Acanthastrea bowerbanki
Acanthastrea brevis
Acanthastrea echinata
Acanthastrea faviaformis
Acanthastrea hemprichii
Acanthastrea hillae
Acanthastrea ishigakiensis
Acanthastrea lordhowensis
Acanthastrea maxima
Acanthastrea regularis
Acanthastrea rotundoflora
Acanthastrea subechinata
