“…Per individual biomass was greatest in treatments with open and interstitial access (see Figure S3 ), skewed by low numbers of larger‐bodied echinoderms (e.g., Linckia multifora , Amphiuridae), decapods (e.g., Galatheidae, Hippolytidae, Palaemonidae, Portunidae, and Xanthidae), and fishes (Gobiesocidae and Gobiidae; e.g., Eviota and Callogobius ), as common of rubble biomes (Stella et al, 2022 ; Wolfe et al, 2020 ; Wolfe, Kenyon, & Mumby, 2021 ). Interestingly, the mean density and biomass of cryptofauna did not differ between open and interstitial access (i.e., surface‐blocked) treatments, confirming that exposure to top‐down predation is not a limiting factor of the rubble‐dwelling cryptofauna (Fraser et al, 2020 ; Stella et al, 2022 ), despite being heavily preyed upon (Kamen, 2020 ). Invertivorous fishes frequently inspect RUBS when deployed (Wolfe, pers.…”
