Symbiodinium clades present in shallow and deep-water S. pistillata adults, planulae, and juvenlies analyzed (N) with real time PCR. Numbers in parentheses denote the number of samples containing a given clade.
*
Samples that contained both A and C at levels detectable by DGGE, hence both clades were listed as abundant.
