Removal of corallivorous snails as a proactive tool for the conservation of acroporid corals.

If the Sand Island pair is excluded as an outlier (based on the extreme number of snails found in the Sand Island All Hosts plot, Table 1 ), then the baseline number of snails still does not differ between treatments, but the difference in recolonization rate between treatments becomes marginally significant (Wilcoxon, Z = 2.02, n = 5, p = 0.043).
