Porites astreoides study data

The following are collection and transplant details for Porites astreoides specimens collected during my November 2015 Belize trip.

Colonies labeled 1-19 brought back to CBC, sampled for DNA, photographed, dyed with alizarin red (10 mg/L for 12 h), fragmented, and transplanted in common garden. Select halves were also brought back to home site and marked with tags and subsurface markers. Samples 80-100 sampled in situ and preserved on site.
