Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, background): “Concerning the orientation of a coral’s attachment to a substratum, Okubo et al. (2005) indicated that the survival rate of vertically attached fragments of Acropora formosa and A. hyacinthus (right angle to the ordinary orientation for the species) was higher than horizontally attached fragments…”
