CC = mean daily coral consumption (cm2/day)
d0 = pre-treatment diameter (mm), d1 = post-treatment diameter (mm); Δd = diameter change
w0 = pre-treatment weight (g); w1 = post-treatment weight (g); Δw = weight change
% GI = post-treatment gonad weight (g) / post-treatment body weight (g) × 100%
% PCI = post-treatment pyloric caeca weight (g) / post-treatment body weight (g) × 100%
