Acropora parilis, commonly known as the Elkhorn Acropora, is a species of stony coral found in the Caribbean Sea and parts of the Gulf of Mexico. It forms large branching colonies with thick, irregular branches that resemble elk antlers, hence the common name. The branches are typically beige or light brown in color, with small, round polyps that extend during the night to feed. Acropora parilis is an important reef-building coral and is considered a threatened species due to factors such as climate change, overfishing, and habitat destruction.
