Acropora formosa is found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans and the Red Sea. In the wild, Acropora formosa are found on the reef slopes, fringes, and lagoons and usually in thickets with a single species spreading as far as ten metres (approximately 32.8 feet). Acropora formosa are commonly found along with Acropora nobilis and Acropora grandis. Acropora formosa is frequently a dominant species.

Acropora formosa is a Branching or Arborescent Acropora. It is a staghorn type of Branching Acropora, hence it's most popular common name. It is considered a favorite of reef aquarists. Excellent and stable tank conditions are required to keep all Acropora spp. corals. Tanks should offer high calcium levels and strontium should be added. A mature tank (well over a year old) is advised to increase the chance of successfully keeping Acropora.
