Astreopora cenderawasih Wallace, Turak & DeVantier, 2011

Very spezial Thank to Lyndon DeVantier for the wonderful pictures of Astreopora cenderawasih.
Distribution: Cenderawasih Bay, Papua

Astreopora cenderawasih is a new species from West Papua.

We’ve seen some Astreopora species exhibit light tubular growth forms in aquariums but it’s nothing compared to Astreopora cenderawasih, a new species described from Cenderawasih Bay in West Papua, Indonesia.
A. cenderawasih is described as having a dendritic growth form and it was found growing in shallow sandy reef flat and upper reef slopes, between six and twenty feet deep (2-6 meters). The colonies of A. cenderawasih seen were mostly pale or dark brown but some were described as purple grey.
