Acropora Lokani很普遍更深在印度尼西亚很常见的水芳属，并在印度太平洋地区广泛传播。Lokani Acro已被成千上万的耕种，甚至数十年，所以在那段时间，我们认为我们已经看到了一切。它通常从15 m（45英尺）深到50 m以上（150 ft）。
Most of the time, colonies ofAcropora Lokaniform table-like, side-attached corymbose cushions along angled reef slopes. It feeds by disrupting laminar flow, and catching falling particles so it usually prefers to be close to the bottom, and doesn’t like being elevated over the ground.
颜色Acropora Lokaniis usually brown center with deep purple branches that becomes brighter towards the extremities.
但是上周末，我们遇到了一个浅水殖民地，这非常罕见。它坐在山脊上，只有10 m（30英尺）的水暴露在流动和明亮的光中。这个罕见的浅水典型的Acropora Lokani显示了预期的菌落形状，但颜色也大不相同。
At first glance we thought it was a different species, may be some kind ofAcropora Rosaria，但是经过仔细检查，我们将其视为我们最喜欢的Lokani Acro。这就是使特殊物种如此特殊的原因；完全不在上下文中。如果我们缓慢地适应不同的条件，它还使我们了解了礁石罐中该物种可以实现的目标。
而不是像桌子那样，而是A. Lokaniwas bushy and the purple coloration which is usually reserved to being on the tips were all over the colony as opposed to only on the plate edge. But another very important difference we noticed in this Lokani Acro was its adaptation to stronger light, with green tips filled with UV-absorbing fluorescent pigments, that are usually lacking in deeper water specimen.
在某些情况下，珊瑚适应不同条件的奇妙能力是使珊瑚一般，绝对令人着迷的。和这个特殊的标本Acropora Lokani这是非常重要的，因为它适应了更高的光线和温度更高的温度。那种特殊的高光，温暖温度的基因型Acropora Lokani在气候变化的未来可以保留该物种，可能是无价的。
