Final line of the results section “Fish and coral assemblage at study sites” should read: “A total of 1085 individual corallivorous fish of 20 species were observed on transect surveys, with a further five species observed off transects (Table 1).”

Table 1 legend should read: “Table 1. Numbers of corallivorous fish observed on transect surveys in the lagoon of Mauritius, and all species observed at sites (including off transects).”

Within Table 1, the following errors were made:

• 1. Chlorurus sordidus was misidentified as Scarus frenatus resulting in incorrect numbers of Scarinae on transects

• 2. A total of 920 individuals of Scarinae species were observed on transects

• 3. Scarinae species were found at all sites

• 4. A total of 77 individuals of Chaetodontidae species were observed on transects

• 5. Two Chaetodontidae species were omitted due to being misidentified; these were Chaetodon guttatissimus and C. kleinii

• 6. Zanclus cornutus (Zanclidae) was accidentally omitted due to erroneously not being identified as a corallivore; Z. cornutus was observed at all sites with 49 individuals observed on transects

• 7. Gomphosus caeruleus and Thalassoma lunare (Labridae) were accidentally omitted for the same reason as Z. cornutus; Labridae were observed at all sites with 25 individuals observed on transects

• 8. A total of four individuals of Plectroglyphidodon dickii were observed on transects

• 9. A total of four individuals of Tetraodontidae species were observed on transects

• 10. Tetraodontidae were not observed at site 6

• 11. A total of three individuals of Oxymonacanthus longirostris were observed at site 6 only; Cantherhines dumerilii was not present but was misidentified

• 12. Only one individual of Rhinecanthus aculeatus was observed on transects

• 13. Exallias brevis (Bleniidae) was accidentally omitted for the same reason as Z. cornutus; one individual of E. brevis was observed at site 2

• 14. Ostracion cubicus was observed at site 1 (off transects) as well as at site 6

The following species were accidentally omitted from Supplementary Table 1 due to either not being identified as corallivores or not being identified as present in Mauritius at the time of initial publication.

• 1. Balistes vetula (Balistidae); facultative corallivore

• 2. Exallias brevis (Bleniidae); facultative corallivore

• 3. Chaetodon bennetti (Chaetodontidae); obligate corallivore

• 4. Coris aygula (Labridae); facultative corallivore

• 5. Gomphosus caeruleus (Labridae); facultative corallivore

• 6. Thalassoma lunare (Labridae); facultative corallivore

• 7. Pomacanthus semicirculatus (Pomacanthidae); facultative corallivore

• 8. Calotomus coralinus (Scarinae); facultative corallivore

• 9. Chlorurus sordidus (Scarinae); facultative corallivore

• 10. Scarus viridifucatus (Scarinae); facultative corallivore

• 11. Zanclus cornutus (Zanclidae); facultative corallivore
