Methods

Three permanent belt transects were established along depth contours between 5 and10 m. Benthic organisms were quantified using 25*25-cm photo-quadrats (120 frames/ 30 m transect). The percent cover of coral species was determined using Coral Point Count with Excel Extensions (CPCe) with 30 random points per quadrat.The photos were took by lab members from Prof. Chen and Prof. Fans labs then analysised by Chao-yang Kuo Unit of abundance = MeanCount, Unit of biomass = NA
