The probability of survivorship (mean ± S.D. %; n = 8) of coral species under intraspecific and interspecific interactions in ex-situ and in-situ conditions.

“Pla-Tur” denotes Platygyra sinensis micro-colonies were placed 1 cm apart from Turbinaria mesenterina micro-colonies.

Pla = Platygyra sinensis, Tur = Turbinaria mesenterina, Lit = Lithophyllon undulatum.

Bold indicates the coral species whose micro-colonies were examined for survivorship.
