Abstract: | To investigate the effects of electro-mineral accretion coral nubbins from two Acropora species were collected from Magnetic Island, Australia and transplanted onto control and electro-mineral treated platforms in Reef HQ Aquarium. Growth rates were established over a three-month period using wet weight measurements. Electro-mineral treated platforms were found to have a twenty six percent increase in growth rate than the control platforms. |
