Coral Bleaching Susceptibility Is Decreased following Short-Term (1–3 Year) Prior Temperature Exposure and Evolutionary History

<table>Flow-through seawater system consisting of sand and UV light filtration. Water was pumped into five of the six storage tanks through the filter system by a 1.5 hp centrifugal Jacuzzi pump (pump and filter system used only prior to experimentation to prevent pump cavitation). Incoming water enters the pump, passes through the sand filter and a 5 <i>μ</i>m Canister filter coupled with UV-light sanitization, and is then passed to the storage tanks. During experimental trials, water is pumped to the twelve incubation chambers (IC), exiting <i>via</i> a drain. </table>
