Short-term in situ shading effectively mitigates linear progression of coral-killing sponge Terpios hoshinota.
The coral-killing sponge, Terpios hoshinota is a global invasive species that has conquered coral patches within a short span of time, which has led to a significant decline in living coral cover at various geographical locations. In this study, we surveyed the linear progression and impact of the T...
