Description: 

Life stage assigned to each individual. Each "larva" was collected from the plankton using a modified MOCNESS net system; each "Late-stage larva" was collected using light traps that intercept larva as they settle to the reef; each juvenile was collected from reef or rubble habitat using SCUBA, quinaldine, and hand nets.
