Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication [1]. The word “verrucose” should be changed to “verrucosa”.
Two corrections have been made to Section 3.5.
G. fascicularis, P. verrucosa, and S. caliendrum settlement percentages and post-settlement survival rates are shown in Table 1. On the 12th day, 100% of S. caliendrum larvae had settled, while G. fascicularis and M. elephantotus were characterized by settlement rates of 46% and 28%, respectively. P. verrucosa had the lowest settlement rate. Furthermore, among the four coral species studied, G. fascicularis had the highest survival rate (29%) two months post-settlement, with P. verrucosa spat survival only 3% over this same time period.
A correction has been made to the caption of Table 1.
Table 1. Settlement and post-settlement survival rates of coral larvae and spats Galaxea fascicularis, Mycedium elephantotus, Pocillopora verrucosa and Seriatopora caliendrum.

Error in Figure

In the original article, there was a mistake in Figure 1d as published. Figure 1d as published was not the image of Pocillopora verrucosa. The corrected Figure 1d appears below.
Figure 1. Coral species used in the experiment: (a) Galaxea fascicularis; (b) Mycedium elephantotus; (c) Seriatopora caliendrum; and (d) Pocillopora verrucosa.
The authors apologize for any inconvenience caused and state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
