Acropora palmata morpho‑functional data before and after pruning

Morpho‑functional data from 3D reconstructions of Acropora palmata colonies subjected to simulated pruning scenarios. These data include continuous morphological metrics (sphericity, packing, complement of convexity, rugosity, surface‑area and volume moments) and functional estimates (shelter capacity and accumulated CaCO₃) measured before and after removing branches of different lengths and numbers
