Abstract

Initial mass and growth data, as change in mass over 33 days, for Acropora millepora corals exposed to one of nine experimental treatments of killer seaweeds. Experiments investigated how direct contact versus close proximity (approx. 1.5 cm) with macroalgae (Galaxaura rugosa, Sargassum polycystum) impacted the growth and other factors.

Initial mass and growth data, as change in mass over 33 days, for Acropora millepora corals exposed to one of nine experimental treatments of killer seaweeds. Experiments investigated how direct contact versus close proximity (approx. 1.5 cm) with macroalgae (Galaxaura rugosa, Sargassum polycystum) impacted the growth and other factors. 

These data are presented in Figure 1 of Clements et al, 2020. See 'Master ID Sheet.xlsx' in Supplemental Files for the treatment descriptions.
