Astreopora listeri

Astreopora listeri is a species of hard coral found in shallow water in the tropical Indian and Pacific Oceans.

It is an uncommon species with a wide range and is tolerant of turbid water, making it more resilient than some other corals to habitat disturbance.

They are immersed and have small circular openings surrounded by delicate feathery spinules, giving the colony a rough surface.

It is found in several different types of shallow water reef habitat including turbid areas,[3] at depths between 5 and 20 m (16 and 66 ft).

[1] Astreopora listeri is a zooxanthellate species of coral,[4] harbouring symbiotic dinoflagellates which provide their host with the products of photosynthesis.
