Hi,
Rob's (and my) pronounciation is correct.
The accent on multisyllabic words is on the antepenultimate syllable (or the the syllable before the syllable before the end).
I'll bet you probably learned in a history class at one time or another, about the famous building, the Parthenon, which sits on a hill called the Acropolis.
Now, did you pronounce it ACK-ro-polis...
or a-CROP-o-lis.
This has the same root (
acro) and same number of syllables as
Acropora.
Some hobbyists may think their pronounciation is correct, but what can you expect from people who specifically add poisons (trace metals and such) to their tanks, keep the salinity too low (less than 1.025), and don't feed their animals appropriately.
