We looked at a range of molecular and ecological characteristics to better understand this. Coral, octocoral and sponge samples were collected on SCUBA between May-October 2017 from multiple reefs on the central and northern GBR. Data were sequenced for the 16S rRNA gene to profile the microbial community and 18S rRNA, COI & ITS1 to reconstruct host phylogeny. Data was analysed using a range of bioinformatic techniques. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[146.45652767387222, -18.670701092377005], [146.51451107114556, -18.670701092377005], [146.51451107114556, -18.561900951195078], [146.45652767387222, -18.561900951195078], [146.45652767387222, -18.670701092377005]]]} 146.45652767387222 146.51451107114556 -18.670701092377005 -18.561900951195078 O’Brien, P.
