2 × 1.5 m example footprint. Defined example; real examples vary.
Defined examples — our methodology
The marked length is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Elkhorn coral colony
A defined mature elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) colony 2 m wide and 1.2 m high. Branch growth and breakage produce irregular colonies; the basal reef substrate is excluded from both spans.
