A few weeks into the raising of the larvae, we have seen settlement on the ceramic tiles with both the larvae at KML and the ones at Mote! Well done everyone!!
Happy little Montastrea faveolata larvae
Tiles with coral settlement!
Anke and Shelby are still hard at work at KML caring for the larvae.
Shelby and Anke performing inoculations of the coral larvae. There are multiple treatments set up in the kreisels (A, B and Control symbiont types) Here they are inoculating them with a certain amount of cells/ml of the different Symbiodinium algal strains. Part of the work will then include seeing how the corals respond and grow depending on which symbiont type they are exposed to.
Newly settled coral larvae! So cute.
