Growth, population dynamics, and reproductive output model of the non‐zooxanthellate temperate solitary coral Caryophyllia inornata (Scleractinia, Caryophylliidae)
Coral age can be strictly related to size, but processes like fragmentation, fusion, and partial
colony mortality can decouple this relationship. When these phenomena are negligible …
