(a) Mean percent change in mass, (b) total linear extension (TLE; cm) and (c) partial mortality for experimental corals growing in the absence of predation (i.e., caged treatments only; n = 99) on the fringing reef and mid-lagoon. Only corals that displayed some level of partial mortality (i.e., > 0) are included in plot (c). Values are means ± SE. Statistics are from linear mixed effects models.
