Abstract

Coral size and shape defines their function in the reef ecosystem, determining, for example, the among and type of shelter for associate organisms. The construction and analysis of three-dimensional (3D) coral models has allowed, among other things, to quantify the structural complexity of these organisms and to make approximations of their function. Here we discuss the importance of the determination of shape complexity in corals and provide a brief history of coral shape study as well as the incorporation of new technologies.
