Features: colonies are subarborescenti with branches (a brush for cleaning bottles) facing up. Corals axial and radial initial increase gradually in size. The axial corallites are long and tubular, while the smaller radial corallites are slightly protruding. All corals have thin walls and rounded openings.
Color: light brown or dark solid.
Similar species: A. longicyathus , which has axial corallites shorter (and less like a brush). (See also A. echinata, which corallites finest).
Habitat: clear areas of the reef.
Wild: rare.
