The most common and diverse group in the Indo-Pacific region, the genus is extremely rare in Hawaii.  Acropora are found off Mana, Kaua'i, French Frigate Shoals, Gardner Pinnacles, and Maro Reef.  FFS appears to be the center of the Hawaiian population and is likely due to larval settlement from Johnston Atoll, 400 miles to the southwest.

All coral skeletons illustrated are from scientific collections taken prior to 1998.
