It is a hard coral
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Acropora palmata.
The rarest type of coral is the Elkhorn coral.
Elkhorn coral is crucial for the health of coral reefs as it provides structural complexity, which creates habitats for a diverse range of marine species. Its fast growth and ability to form large colonies help stabilize the reef ecosystem, protecting it from erosion and wave impacts. Additionally, elkhorn coral contributes to the overall biodiversity of the reef, supporting various ecological interactions that sustain marine life. The decline of elkhorn coral can lead to reduced reef resilience and biodiversity loss.
Table coral is a species of Acropora along with staghorn coral and elkhorn coral. Table coral has a flat plate, or flat bush shape because it grows out horizontally.
