Evidence points to a link between environmental stressors, coral-associated bacteria, and coral disease; however, few studies have examined the details of this relationship under tightly controlled experimental conditions. To address this gap, an array of closed- system, precision-controlled experimental aquaria were used to investigate the effects of an abrupt 1◦C above summer ambient temperature increase on the bacterial community structure and
