The interaction implying the factor site was highly
significant. SNK test indicated that Acropora between 1999 and
2008 and Pocillopora between 1999 and 2005 recruited similarly
in both ocean and lagoon reefs at all depths. Recruits got more
abundant in lagoon outer flats from 2008 onwards for Acropora,
in ocean outer flats and ocean upper slopes since 2005 for
Pocillopora. Recruitment of others was higher in 1999 at most sites
and depths.
