Prokaryotic cell abundance in coral mucus of Porites astreoides throughout the aquaria incubation for antibiotic-treated and non-treated control colonies. Samples were collected directly after corals were removed from the reef (reef), after 8 days acclimatization to the aquaria environment (0 h) and 24, 72 and 120 h after the beginning of incubation with antibiotics. Antibiotic treatment resulted in a significant decrease (Tukey HSD; **P<0.01) in prokaryotic abundance relative to in situ values (reef). Error bars indicate ±s.d.
