What is the most common coral in the Great Barrier Reef?
Staghorn variety

The most common type of hard coral found in the Great Barrier Reef is the Staghorn variety, which over time forms limestone casings that become an important building block in the reef's expansion providing a safe habitat for its many ocean-dwelling creatures to live in.
