Feeding deterrence ofSinularia tip sclerites towards gen- eralist carnivorous fishes at different sclerite concentrations. Points rep- resent the mean feeding rate on artificial diet with sclerites relative to control diet lacking sclerites. Each value represents the results of a single two-way choice experiment. Circled points denote experiments in which sclerites were significantly deterrent (P < ). to artificial diet lacking sclerites (Fig. 9); artificial diets containing tip sclerites from S. maxima and S. sp. at 10% by dry weight were consumed at a greater rate than the control diets (Fig. 10). The relative consumption rate of artificial diets with sclerites relative to control diets lacking sclerites decreased with increasing sclerite concentration. All of the sclerites except those from the bases of 5. sp. were significantly deterrent (P < ) at concentrations BASES.
