Abstract
This dataset contains measurements of visual bleaching following 18-hour acute thermal stress experiments, where temperatures were ramped up to 30, 33, 36, and 39 degrees Celsius. Four coral species (Acropora hemprichii, Pocillopora verrucosa, Porites lobata, and Stylophora pistillata) were sampled from six sites along the length of the Red Sea, down to Djibouti in the Gulf of Aden. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'.
