Fig. 1. Lobophyllia corymbosa clones. (a) Post-budding stage characterized by tissues connecting between individual polyps (see white arrows); these connecting tissues later die, transforming the colony into a clone of solitary polyps (b,c). (d) During the night, polyp body columns expand, causing intraclonal contacts between individual polyps (see white arrows). (e) The center of a clone from which an intact polyp was removed for ¹⁴C-labeling. (f) `Hot' polyps wrapped with a plastic collar, reattached in their original clone. Scale bars, 5 cm.
