Acropora glauca is an Indo-Pacific scleractinian coral (family Acroporidae) forming corymbose to digitate colonies with a characteristic pale or grayish coloration in live specimens. It occupies shallow reef habitats including reef flats and upper slopes, where Symbiodiniaceae photosymbiosis supports calcification and growth. Thermal bleaching and habitat loss pose significant conservation threats, and it is listed 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.
