Abstract
Polyp settlement and polyp counts on experimental tiles with different levels of turf algae cover (low: “scrubbed”; medium: “reef”; high: “protected”) up to 57 days after settlement. The in-situ experiment took place in Grootpan Bay, St. John, US Virgin Islands between August 3rd to September 9th, 2019. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.
