Which phenomenon inhibits rapid coral growth when sedimentation increases?

💡 Explanation

Increased sedimentation reduces light penetration, inhibiting photosynthesis by zooxanthellae. This diminished Carbon fixation then limits energy available for coral growth. This reduction rather than increase accelerates growth or switches energy usage.
