Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Speciesbox
Acropora batunai is a species of acroporid coral that was described by Carden Wallace in 1997. Found in protected, shallow reefs, it occurs in a marine environment at depths of up to Шаблон:Convert. The species is rated as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, with a decreasing population, and is extremely fragile. It can be found over a large area but, overall, is not common.
Description
Acropora batunai species form in structures resembling cushions or corymboses[1] that are Шаблон:Convert thick and Шаблон:Convert wide.[2] In colour, it is grey, blue, pale brown, and sometimes pink or brown-white.[1][2] It has long flat branches which contain upright-facing branches and can be arranged in a table-like structure. The radial corallites and axial corallites are combined, small, sharp and tube-like, with the radial corallites are arranged like bottlebrushes.[1] Axial corallites have diameters of Шаблон:Convert (outer) and Шаблон:Convert (inner).[2] The species is similar to Acropora microclados and Acropora rambleri.[1] It is found in sheltered shallow reefs at depths of up to Шаблон:Convert, but is most common on reef slopes at Шаблон:Convert. It is possible that it can be found at Шаблон:Convert deep.[3] It uses its polyps to catch plankton.[4]
Distribution
Acropora batunai is not common and can be found in the Indo-Pacific, in Fiji, Ponape, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia.[3] It lives in marine habitats in reefs of the central and west Pacific Ocean.[5] It is found in one region of Indonesia, and is incredibly fragile, and is threatened by the global reduction of coral reefs, the increase of temperature causing bleaching, disease, and being prey to the Acanthaster planci. Some specimens occur in Marine Protected Areas.[3] It is listed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List as the population is decreasing, and is listed under Appendix II of CITES.[3]
Taxonomy
The species was first described by Carden Wallace in 1997 as Acropora batunai in Indonesia.[6]
