Found in shallow reefs from the Red Sea to the western Pacific, it is commonly used as a model in thermal stress and bleaching experiments. It is classified as Vulnerable by the IUCN. Genomic data have been generated for this species and are available in public databases, enabling comparative studies of cnidarian evolution and ecology.
