All treatment coral were collected from the field, relocated to experimental tanks at ERL, fragmented, mounted on experimental pedestals, and allowed to heal. After healing, field controls were immediately exposed to the heat stress scenario. Control corals were held in experimental tanks at static temperature conditions of 28 degrees Celsius for three months before being exposed to the heat stress scenario. Variable thermal treatment coral were held in experimental tanks with temperatures oscillating between 28 and 31 degrees Celsius, exposing the coral to 31 degree Celsius temperatures for three hours twice per day, for three months before being exposed to the heat stress scenario. The heat stress scenario ramped coral holding tank temperatures from 28 degrees Celsius to 32 degrees Celsius and held that "stress" temperature, during which time the coral were monitored and evaluated for Coral Watch color codes (visual), presence of rapid tissue loss (visual), average R-intensity (photometric), and photosynthetic efficiency (PAM fluorometry) to quantify coral bleaching and mortality. Coral fragments were removed from the stress scenario when bleaching or tissue loss became obvious, and the scenario continued until all coral had been removed. The data from the described metrics, along with associated metadata for the genotypes, are included in this dataset. These data were collected to conduct a statistically-robust experiment to determine whether short-term thermal stress hardening in a laboratory can confer thermal resilience on a coral fragment. This project is especially relevant given the negative impact warming oceans have on coral reef health and success of coral restoration efforts.
