Growth-predation risk tradeoffs constrain the local distribution of a thicket-forming Staghorn coral to marginal reef habitats.

The estimated Cohen’s d value (0.69) indicates a median effect size of habitat type on nubbin growth in the presence of corallivorous fishes, although this difference was only marginally significant, likely to due to high variability in growth rates (GLMM: estimate = −90.7, SE = 46.6, z = −1.97, p = 0.052).
