''Acropora prolifera'', the fused staghorn coral, is a branching, colonial, stony coral found in shallow parts of the Caribbean Sea, the Bahamas and southern Florida. ==Description== ''Acropora prolifera'' is very similar to staghorn coral (''Acropora cervicornis'') in appearance but usually forms smaller, denser clumps. The branches are mostly horizontal and often divide near the tip, sometimes fusing with other branches. It also resembles elkhorn coral (''Acropora palmata'') and genetic studies show that it is a hybrid between that and staghorn coral.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Acropora prolifera'' (Lamarck 1816) )〕 The corallites, the calcareous skeletal cups in which the polyps sit, are tubular and protrude from the surface of the branches. They are tightly packed and arranged in linear rows and there is a larger corallite at the tip of each branch. The branches are up to in diameter and the whole colony may grow to across. The general colour is pale yellowish-brown and the branches have paler tips.
