From: Coral larvae are poor swimmers and require fine-scale reef structure to settle

Figure 4

Settlement success of coral larvae in oscillating flume tank. Proportion of Isopora cuneata larvae making (a) contact with settlement substrates covered with CCA and forming (b) attachment for more than 5 min. Substrate treatments were: microscope slide, flat settlement tile and block. For substrates where contact was observed, flume experiments were run separately with live and dead larvae. Standard errors illustrate statistical differences; also see Table 3.
