  1. All measurements, were calculated as overall treatment means for the duration of each experiment (O. faveolata: n = 11 days; A. cervicornis: n = 5 days). PAR was measured on 3 different days for O. faveolata and on 1 day for A. cervicornis. pH is on the NBS scale, salinity is in practical salinity units, and PAR is in µmol photons m−2 s−1.
