PaBb52 (2015-1-27) Night patch reef site in the Aiwakoko Lagoon. P. acuta colonies (n=5) were tagged and sampled in the day, and then sampled again at night. I missed site PaBb53 (lagoonal patch reef) on account of setting up for the night dive. Seriatopora spp. were likely present, but I was too busy with the night dive colonies.
