Figure 3

Tissue retraction in juvenile C. huinayensis. Photographs with differing tissue extension, (A, B) show corals after twelve weeks maintenance under control conditions; (C, D) corals after 6, and (E, F) after 12 weeks, under T2, respectively, showing retracted tissue. Yellow arrow indicates that the tissue is expanding over the substrate, red arrow indicates the edge where the tissue retracts from the skeleton.
