Branching coral refers to a type of coral that grows in a structure resembling branching trees or shrubs, primarily found in tropical and subtropical marine environments. These corals, such as those from the genus Acropora, play a vital role in reef ecosystems by providing habitat and shelter for various marine species. They are sensitive to environmental changes, making them indicators of reef health. Their intricate structures also contribute to the overall biodiversity and stability of coral reef systems.
Two types of coral that exhibit branching are fan coal and finger coral. Fan Coral: comes in many colors, has soft finger- like branching that is rounded at the ends. Finger Coral: distictively gray growing in thick colonies.

Healthy coral reefs are filled with lush coral growth. Healthy coral reefs have rounded or branching masses. Many of the coral formations resemble branching trees and large domes. The coral is rich in color because of the algae (zooxanthellae) that live in the coral tissures provide sugars that the coral needs for nutrition. They are often rich tan, orange, purple, and green in color. Colorful reef fish swim in and around the coral reef. Sea animals such as sea anemonies, sea jellies, sea urchins, and sponges also live there.
Coral fungi are branching, spiky mushrooms that resemble underwater coral. They come in various colors such as white, pink, orange, or red. Their appearance is often likened to sea creatures, with a distinctive, intricate structure.
Black coral is a type of species belonging to the order Antipatharia, characterized by their black or dark-colored appearance. These corals are found in deep-sea environments and are known for their long, branching structures. Black coral is often harvested for use in jewelry and decorative items, although there are concerns about the sustainability of this practice due to overharvesting.
Corals don't really die, they can reproduce asexually though budding and branching, and sexually, but the original corals don't seem to ever die of "old age"

Bangkusay, also known as "Bamboo Coral," refers to a type of coral found in shallow marine environments, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region. It is characterized by its branching, bamboo-like structure and is often used in jewelry and decorative items. The coral is a vital part of its ecosystem, providing habitat for various marine species, but it faces threats from climate change and human activities. Conservation efforts are essential to protect this unique marine organism and its habitat.
Branching in roots is endogenous and in stems it is exogenous

Increasing branching in a hydrocarbon generally increases its octane rating. This is because branching reduces the likelihood of pre-ignition or knocking in the engine, which is a common issue with straight-chain hydrocarbons. Branching increases the efficiency of combustion, leading to a higher octane rating.
