Corallivory in the Anthropocene: interactive effects of anthropogenic stressors and corallivory on coral reefs
Corallivory is the predation of coral mucus, tissue, and skeleton by fishes and invertebrates,
and a source of chronic stress for many reef-building coral species. Corallivores often prey …
