๐๐ค๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ขโฏ๐ฑ๐ข๐ญ๐ฎ๐ข๐ต๐ขโฏor elkhorn coral is an important reef-building coral in the Caribbean. The species has a complex structure with many branches which resemble that of elk antlers, hence, the common name. The branching structure creates habitat and shelter for many other reef species, such as fish and crustaceans. Elkhorn coral is known to grow quickly with an average growth rate of 5 to 10โฏcm per year. Although Elkhorn coral dominated the Caribbean in the early 1980s, the species has since dramatically declined in numbers due to climate change, and is now listed in the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
