Figure 3

Release of H2O2 and cnidocyte discharge in response to chemical and gentle physical stimuli (FBS) in ASW (a) and Ca-free ASW (b). H2O2 concentrations were followed in individual coral fragments prior to and following two stimuli: a gentle physical stimulus with a Pasteur pipette and a gentle physical stimulus with an FBS covered Pasteur pipette. The bars represent the change in H2O2 concentrations during ten minutes prior to stimuli (basal, white bars) and then during ten minutes following each stimulus (pipette only, grey bars; FBS covered pipette, black bars). The number of cnidocytes discharged by each stimulus is listed below each respective bar.
