(a) Lipids, (b) egg size, and (c) egg numbers in colonies of Acropora millepora before and after a bleaching event that occurred in February 2006. White bars represent colonies with predominantly C2 symbionts before the bleaching that bleached white and grey bars represent colonies with predominantly D symbionts before the bleaching that were unbleached during the event. Whisker bars above the bars represent the standard error of the mean. *represent significant differences.
