This dataset includes metrics related to coral energy reserves. Fragments of coral species (Orbicella faveolata, Porites astreoides, and Porites divaricata) were analyzed for concentrations of lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and chlorophyll a. Carbon isotopic ratios d13C and d15N were measured in both the host and endosymbiont. Health metrics are included which describe bleaching status.
