The causeways and land reclamation have also affected the reef environment.

Its habitat are shallow reef environments especially in subtropical localities.

It is found on rocks in various reef environments but not in tidal pools or muddy areas.

It also inhabits deeper offshore coral and rocky reef environments.

This coral lives in shallow reef environments.

The fringe, along with its complex color pattern of small blotches and reticulations, enable it to camouflage itself against the reef environment.

This species favors clear reef environments around oceanic islands, where it is often the most abundant shark species.

Acropora is most common in shallow reef environments with bright light and moderate to high water motion.

It is found throughout most reef environments, and is the predominant coral at depths of 40-100 feet (12.2-30.5 m).

Its range includes all reef environments in the Red Sea, up to at least 90 feet in depth.
