Something to think about when you want to dose antibiotics to a reef tank or wanting to do hydrogen peroxide dips.

Thanks.
So the microbial community in water near the coral is clearly different than water 2m away.
We sort of know that the coral surfaces/mucus etc would be a coral-driven community, but I don't think I had expected that the bacteria in water several inches away is still a coral-driven community.

Interesting sounding video! I'll have to watch it in my free time
