Table 2. Fatty acid and fatty alcohol composition (mg g lipid⁻¹) of distal intracolonial locations in two size classes of Acropora millepora colonies.

L-centre: large colony centre, L-33: 33.3% of the longitudinal radius length, L-66: 66.6% of the longitudinal radius length, L-edge: large colony edge, S-centre: small colony centre, S-50: 50% of the longitudinal radius length, S-edge: small colony edge (S-edge). Values are presented as means ± SEM. For each colony size, values in the same row size that do not share the same superscripts are significantly different (P < 0.05).
