Montipora aequituberculata is a species of stony coral in the family Acroporidae.

It is found on the upper parts of reef slopes where it may be the most predominant species.

[2] It obtains most of its nutritional needs from the symbiotic dinoflagellates that live inside its soft tissues.

Its remaining needs are met by the planktonic organisms caught by the tentacles of the polyps.

Other threats are posed by El Nino events, ocean acidification which tends to dissolve the coral skeleton, trawling and other fishing activities, pollution and sedimentation.
