Chemical versus structural defense against fish predation in two dominant soft coral species (Xeniidae) in the Red Sea
Soft corals of the family Xeniidae are particularly abundant in Red Sea coral reefs. Their success may be partly due to a strong defense mechanism against fish predation. To test this, we conducted field and aquarium experiments in which we assessed the anti-feeding effect of secondary metabolites o...
