Abstract
Experimental corals were artificially damaged using a waterpik with lesion centroids separated by 1.2cm, 3.5cm, and 6cm (or no damage for the control), and buoyantly weighed. After 20 and 39 days, corals were re-weighed to determine buoyant mass and skeletal growth. Coral lesions were also photographed and images analyzed to assess the % of lesion with regenerated tissue. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.
