Corals were unaffected until the larval stage in high-CO

treatment. After
settlement, the polyp endoskeleton was observed to be disturbed and
malformed compared with the control.

Survival of larvae was higher in the lowest pH treatment (84.8%) compared
with the intermediate pH (62%) and control (~70%) treatments.
