Acropora bellina

'Acropora bellina' is not the name of a recognised species: WoRMS does not list it, and accepts only the genus Acropora with its species. 1 It is not known which species it corresponds to, so there are no data on its life in the wild here. 1

Acropora bellina, from the Pacific Ocean, is a compact, densely branched coral with a purple base and contrasting green to yellow polyps; it shows exceptional polyp extension. This coral is named after the beautiful orchid species Phalaenopsis bellina, with which it shares the same colour combination.
