(a) Lipids, (b) chlorophyll a content, and (c) symbiont densities of Acropora millepora in the year before and after a bleaching event that occurred in February 2006. White bars represent colonies that had predominantly C2 symbionts before the bleaching and bleached white and grey bars represent colonies with predominantly D symbionts that did not bleach. Whisker bars above the bars represent the standard error of the mean. *represent significant differences.
