Natural Habitat and Location in the Wild

Acanthophyllia is native to the Indo-Pacific region, particularly in Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Great Barrier Reef. It is commonly found in deep lagoonal areas and reef slopes, where it settles on sandy or rubble substrates. These areas provide low to moderate light and gentle water flow, which are ideal conditions for its growth and survival.
