Coral-hydrozoan co-occurrence dataset from Corals hosting symbiotic hydrozoans are less susceptible to predation and disease.

The dataset report detailed information about all coral colonies investigated in the study. This includes sampling region (Maldives or Saudi Arabia), a unique identifier for sampling site, depth class, coral genus, colony size class, a binary field indicating the occurrence on the colony of symbiotic hydrozoans, and 8 binary fields indicating the presence of signs of various coral health conditions, namely: coral bleaching, coral algae overgrowth, fish bites, gastropod (Drupella spp.) bites, white syndrome, brown band disease, skeleton eroding band disease, black band disease.

本数据集报告详细记录了本研究中所有被调查珊瑚群落的相关信息，涵盖以下内容：采样区域（马尔代夫或沙特阿拉伯）、采样点唯一标识符、深度等级、珊瑚属（coral genus）、群落大小等级、一个用于指示共生水螅虫（symbiotic hydrozoans）是否在该珊瑚群落上出现的二进制字段，以及8个用于指示多种珊瑚健康状况表征是否存在的二进制字段，具体如下：珊瑚白化（coral bleaching）、珊瑚藻类覆生、鱼类啃食、腹足类（Drupella spp.）啃食、白色综合征、棕色带病、骨骼侵蚀带病、黑色带病。
