According to Maragos, acropora was found 10 years ago at the Mana submerged barrier reef off the Na Pali Coast of Kauai. However, because this type of coral may not be able to withstand the force of hurricanes, after Iniki struck in 1992 it isn't known whether or not the patch survived. This fish is not usually found apart from acropora and is not found at all in the main Hawaiian Islands. Acropora wasn't seen at either Nihoa or Necker. All rights reserved.
