Monte Carlo simulations to estimate coral skeletal optical properties. Escaping light [ϕ; W/cm-2 per W delivered] as a function of radial distance (r) from the incident laser beam, as measured along the bare skeleton surface. Monte Carlo simulations were run for the 5 μs’ values (colored numbers) and for a constant μa = 0.01 cm-1. The best fit of the experimental data (black) was μs’ = 3.4 cm-1 (n = 15 repetitions).
