... that when watercress algae grows on degraded coral reefs, coral larvae settle on the seaweed as readily as they do on the rubble substrate? Source: "About half the larvae in the live algal treatment settled on H. opuntia instead of on the rubble, showing that larvae did not reject this substrate as they did the algal mimic."
