©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This dataset contains results from experiments conducted in the Bahamas and the Cayman Islands. Experiments examined whether or not two species of groupers, Cephalopholis fulva and Cephalopholis cruentata, (ecologically similar to invasive lionfish) ate cleaner gobies of the genus Elacatinus. Data include the number of gobies eaten, the number of strikes made against the goby and the time it took to strike, and the time passed before predation occurred.
