[Coral-List] John Claydon..branching coral growth rate

[hreyes]

john, we are using plastic tie-wraps to measure coral growth in pocillopora 
from the gulf of california (place the tie near the base of a branch and 
measure distance from the edge of the plastic to the tip of the coral, return 
later, repeat and record the difference). just to be sure we compared the data 
with alizarin-marked branches and they work fine!
