Interactions of scleractinian corals with Peyssonnelid Algal Crusts at two sites and depths in Great Lameshur Bay, St. John, USVI as recorded in August 2019 and January 2020

<p dir=\"ltr\">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.</p> <p>Site:&nbsp; 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).</p> <p>Depth:&nbsp; 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.</p> <p dir=\"ltr\">August_Categorization:&nbsp; The initial categorization of the coral-PAC interaction as observed in August 2019.
