High resolution images of tiles where used to track recruit size and survival, and algae coverage, pre and post 24 hour exposure to fish grazing. The tested fish grazers were Ctenochaetus binotatus (a 'brusher'), Salarias fasciatus ('brusher'), Acanthurus nigrofuscus ('cropper') and Zebrasoma scopas ('concealed cropper'); also included were a 'control' treatment where tiles were undisturbed for the 24 hours and a 'manual' treatment where algae was removed by an aquarist. After the experiment, fish were anaesthetised and measured. These data were collected in December 2023. {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [147.05504894256595, -19.26626233325198]} 147.05504894256595 147.05504894256595 -19.26626233325198 -19.26626233325198 Manual cleaning record documentDigital Manual cleaning record CSV Algae coverage data documentDigital Algae coverage data CSV Github repository of code and data used for this analysis documentDigital Github repository of code and data used for this analysis HTML Coral size and survival data documentDigital Coral size and survival data CSV Fish size measurements documentDigital Fish size measurements CSV Data dictionary documentDigital Data dictionary DOCX Fish grazing intensity data documentDigital Fish grazing intensity data CSV AIMS Web Site documentDigital audio/basic AIMS Web Site documentDigital audio/basic AIMS Web Site documentDigital audio/basic AIMS Web Site documentDigital audio/basic Unnamed resource documentDigital License Graphic PNG Unnamed resource documentDigital HTML
