3 0

Answer:

The success of staghorns is partly due to their lightweight skeletons, which often grow quickly enough to outcompete other corals for sunlight, a resource demanded by their photosynthesizing algae. Some staghorn species can grow 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) per year — a blistering speed by coral standards.
