Half-time of calcein influx was measured in the coral Stylophora pistillata as a method to investigate paracellular transport. To calculate half-life of calcein influx, time lapses of calcein influx into the extracellular calcifying medium was captured using confocal microscopy. The time lapse data set associated with figure 2 was recorded at 25 degrees in a seawater pH of 8. The study was carried on microcolonies of S. pistillata on glass coverslips. The study was conducted the Centre Scientifque de Monaco between 2016 and 2019.

These data was used for figure 2 in the related dataset.
