Abstract

Interactions of scleractinian corals with Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts were recorded at two sites and depth in Great Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI. Since PAC in St. John is more abundant in shallow (3–5 m) versus deep (5–9 m) water, surveys were designed to contrast PAC between depths (3 and 9 meters). The first categorization of coral-PAC interactions at the Cabritte Horn and Tektite sites was August 2019, and the re-categorization was January 2020.

Replicate: Replicate number (1 to 80) is the unique identification for each individual interaction between a scleractinian and PAC that was categorized in August 2019 and re-categorized in January 2020 in order determine if the interaction type changed over time.

Site: The two sites within Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI where coral-PAC interactions were categorized in August 2019 and again in January 2020 (Cabritte Horn or Tektite).

Depth: Depth in meters (either 3 or 9 m) at the site where coral-PAC interactions were categorized in August 2019 and again in January 2020.

August_Categorization: The initial categorization of the coral-PAC interaction as observed in August 2019. Categories are "PAC overgrowing coral", "neutral", and "coral overgrowing PAC".

January_Categorization: The re-categorization of the coral-PAC interaction as observed in January 2020. Categories are "PAC overgrowing coral", "neutral", and "coral overgrowing PAC".
