©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.This data set provides information about the long-term composition of symbiont populations within individual coral colonies. Diverse coral taxa (Scleractinia) from a West Indo-Pacific fore reef (Palau) were tagged and sampled at various intervals--ranging from six months to several years--over nine years' time. Symbiont identity was examined using multiple genetic markers that resolved symbiont diversity to species and individual genotypes (i.e. clonal strains). Consistent with previous colony m...
