Acropora nasuta is a corymbose Acropora coral with compact, rounded colonies distributed across shallow Indo-Pacific reef habitats, characterized by prominent axial corallites flanked by smaller, slightly upturned radial corallites. Like other acroporids, it relies on Symbiodiniaceae photosymbiosis and is vulnerable to thermal bleaching. Genomic data have been generated for this species and are available in public databases, enabling comparative studies of cnidarian evolution and ecology.
