Table 3. Calcification and linear extension rates of live corals at three different deployment sites over 1 year experimental duration.

Rates (in percent per day (% d⁻¹) as well as grams per square metre and year (g m⁻² yr⁻¹) for weight gain and in mm per year (mm yr⁻¹) for linear extension) are given as replicate means ± standard deviation per deployment site for white and orange corals. The calcification rate in g m⁻² yr⁻¹ is based on surface area of the coral substrate calculated from the CT scans (see text for details).

Location	Calcification rate—white (% d−1)	Calcification rate—orange (% d−1)	Calcification rate—white (g m−2 yr−1)	Calcification rate—orange (g m−2 yr−1)	Linear extension—white (mm yr−1)	Linear extension—orange (mm yr−1)
