''Acropora cerealis'' is a species of acroporid coral found throughout the Indian and Pacific oceans, from the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden to the Hawaiian Islands and the Johnston Atoll. It can be found on upper reef slopes in shallow tropical reefs, from depths of 3–20 m. Crown-of-thorns starfish preferentially prey upon ''Acropora'' corals, and this species is also harvested for the aquarium trade. ==Description== It occurs in either corymbose or cespitose colonies consisting of interlocking branches, each locked to three other branches. Its thin branches contain a large number of corallites considerably contributing to their widths. Radial corallites of the species are tube-shaped and built into the branches, with nariform obvious tips. Its axial corallites are also tubular. Branches have blue, cream, pink or purple branch tips, and the species is either cream, pale brown or white in colour. It has a similar appearance to ''Acropora kimbeensis'' and ''Acropora plantaginea''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Acropora cerealis'' )〕
