The results of a multivariate ANOVA showing the significant within-subject effect of year on the lipids and egg numbers in bleached C2 and unbleached D colonies of Acropora millepora before and after a bleaching event in February 2006. There was no significant effect of year on egg size and no significant interactions between bleaching condition and year. *indicate significant results.
