From: Coral mucus fuels the sponge loop in warm- and cold-water coral reef ecosystems
Percent distribution of coral mucus C assimilation into bacterial, sponge, coral and algal phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs).
Data shown for warm-water sponge M. fistulifera after 3 and 5 days exposure to labeled coral mucus and for the cold-water sponge H. coriacea after 4 days exposure to labeled coral mucus*. *Note that the cold-water PLFA data are from three sponge specimens maintained in a single experimental chamber during the labeling procedure.
