Astreopora montiporina is a new species from West Papua that plates like a Montipora

Astreopora were found growing in relatively shallow water as is often the case with branching corals, the plating Astreopora montiporina was found living and growing much deeper at 40 to 85 feet deep (12 to 25 meters). As with the other new species of Asteropora, A. montiporina was only seen in dull colors of grey, brown and green yet it grew much larger colonies that were up to six feet in diameter.
