Acute Sedimentation Causes Size-Specific Mortality and Asexual Budding in the Mushroom Coral Fungia fungites

Field experiments investigated the effect of acute sedimentation on polyp injury, mortality and bud production, in the mushroom coral Fungia fungites in the Dampier Archipelago. Small (3-5 cm), medium (8-12 cm), and large (15-20 cm) polyps were covered with a layer of sediment in low (2 mm), medium (5 mm) and high (10 mm) treatments, every two days for 20 days.
