Code and Supplementary Material for: A generalized numerical model for clonal growth in scleractinian coral colonies

Coral reefs, vital ecosystems supporting diverse marine life, are primarily shaped by the clonal expansion of coral colonies. Although the principles of coral clonal growth, involving polyp division for spatial extension, are well-understood, numerical modeling efforts are notably scarce in the lite...
