The data described here includes cytochrome oxidase I (COI) DNA metabarcoding data collected from Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS). ARMS were deployed by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC), Ecosystem Sciences Division (formerly the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division) under the National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) at stationary climate monitoring sites and used to assess and monitor cryptic reef diversity within the Marianas Archipelago. Developed in collaboration with the Census of Marine Life (CoML) Census of Coral Reef Ecosystems (CReefs), ARMS were designed to mimic the structural complexity of a reef and attract/collect colonizing marine invertebrates. The key innovation of the ARMS method is that biodiversity is sampled over precisely the same surface area in the exact same manner.
These data were gathered at specific reef sites across the Marianas Archipelago. ARMS units were set-up, deployed and recovered as described in the ARMS record in the related items section below. After ARMS were disassembled, different size fractions of samples and plate scrapings were preserved in ethanol for metabarcoding.
Coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse, complex, and productive of ecosystems. The vast majority of coral reef biodiversity is made up of the small and cryptic organisms living unseen by most within the reef matrix. This hidden community, the cryptobiota, are a critical component of coral reef trophic dynamics and play an essential role in nutrient recycling that enable reefs to thrive in oligotrophic environments. Despite their ecological importance, the cryptobiota are often ignored because they live deep within the reef matrix and require significant taxonomic expertise and time to collect and identify. By leaving ARMS units on the benthos for over two-years to attract the colonization and establishment of the cryptobiota ARMS overcome extraction constraints and by integrating next-generation DNA sequencing into ARMS unit processing, taxonomic limitations are diminshed through the establishment of molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTU) - species proxies - based on DNA sequence similarities.

The National Coral Reef Monitoring Program (NCRMP) is a framework for conducting sustained observations of biological, climate, and socioeconomic indicators at 10 priority coral reefs across the U.S. and its territories. This integrated approach will consolidate monitoring of coral reefs under a uniform method in the Pacific, Atlantic, Caribbean, and the Gulf of Mexico for the first time. NCRMP is funded by the CRCP and supported by NOAA Fisheries, NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), and many other partners. The Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD) at NOAA Fisheries is leading biological monitoring in the U.S. Pacific Islands Region.
The biological component of NCRMP in the Pacific provides a triennial ecological characterization at a broad spatial scale of general reef condition for reef fishes, corals and benthic habitat (i.e., fish species composition/density/size, benthic cover, and coral density/size/condition). Each year, ESD scientists work closely with CRCP and local partners to collect biological data on fish populations and coral reef communities from strategically selected sites during Reef Assessment and Monitoring Program (RAMP) missions. Innovative analysis techniques are then used to develop products that give fellow scientists, managers, decision makers and the public a better understanding of a region’s resources and how they are changing over time.

Accuracy
DNA metabarcoding has inevitable PCR amplification and sequencing biases associated with using universal primers that amplify widely divergent taxa, and the variable rates of evolution within and among phyla that affect sequence clustering with a fixed divergence thresholds. Thus, some organisms may not be represented in the DNA metabarcoding data even though they were present on the plates. See https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/edn3.163 for more details.
Analytical Accuracy
Analytical results could be different depending on the bioinformatics used to process the raw sequencing data, however, the overall picture will most likely remain the same.
Bias
As stated in the Analytical Accuracy section, bias in the data may result in one's choice of tools to bioinformatically process sequencing data.
Completeness Report
All ARMS units that are recovered are disassembled, photographed, and sorted by size. Genetic analysis of ARMS samples may exist for a subset of fractions and locations. Missing fractions/locations could be a result of: 1) ARMS that were not recovered due to logistical constraints of the mission; 2) ARMS that were not found when divers returned to the site; and 3) ARMS fractions that were unsuccessfully extracted, amplified, or sequenced.
Conceptual Consistency
ARMS sample biodiversity over precisely the same surface area in the exact same manner. Thus, the use of ARMS is a systematic, consistent, and comparable method for monitoring the cryptobiota community overtime. Three units are deployed at each site to allow for replicate measurements. Divers typically record ARMS metadata into the master Microsoft Access database within a few days of the field operations and/or ARMS processing. QA/QC procedures by the ARMS team and the Cruise Data Manager are typically completed during the field mission.
Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) are assembled, deployed, recovered, and processed as described in the ARMS record in the related items section below. The sessile organisms, the 100 um and 500 um motile fractions, as well as plate scrapings, undergo DNA metabarcoding using the COI gene as the amplicon marker.
ARMS Deployment -
ARMS platforms are deployed as detailed in the ARMS record of the related items section below.

ARMS Recovery and Processing -
ARMS units are recovered, initially processed, and documented as described in the ARMS record in the related items section below.
When all of the plate layers in the ARMS unit have been photographed and set aside (in seawater), the seawater from the disassembly tub, photo tray, and rinse bucket is sieved through adjoining 2 mm and 500 um sieve pans and an attachable 100 um mesh hand net. Material collected in the 500 um sieve and 100 um net are bulk preserved into two separate jars. Jars are filled with EtOH and labeled accordingly. The preserved 500 and 100 um sample fractions undergo a decantation process at a later date prior to DNA metabarcoding. All plates from an individual ARMS unit are scrapped en masse. Once all plates have been scraped, all the scrapings are transferred into a blender (Brevill; BBL600XL). The scrapings are blended for 45-60 seconds on maximum power until the sample is homogenized. The sample is then transferred from the blender to a 40 um net. The sample in the net is rinsed with filtered (< 40 um) seawater until all discharge from net is clear (takes ~2 gal). Four ~10 ml samples are preserved in 50 ml falcon tubes with DMSO and 4 ~10 ml samples are preserved in 95% EtOH. These blended preserved samples undergo DNA metabarcoding. The remaining sample is stored in a sterile whirlpak at -20C. Between the processing of each ARMS unit the blender is rinsed in fresh water to remove any remaining homogenate. The blender is then placed in a 10% bleach solution for 15 minutes. Finally all parts thoroughly rinsed with DI water if available or fresh water.

Decantation of the 100 and 500 um fractions:
NOTE: All equipment used in this step that is not already sterile need to be rinsed with fresh water, placed in 10% bleach solution for 20 minutes (new every day), transferred to Milliq water for 20 minutes (bleach bucket that the milliq water will go in first, and rinse) and then place under a UV light for 20 minutes.
Wear gloves. Take sample out the freezer and let sit to defrost before decantation. Empty container(s) into a 1 L conical flask (that has been bleached, rinsed and UV sterilized). Fill the conical flask with ~300 ml of Milli-Q water. Seal neck of flask with parafilm and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Make sure to hold the parafilm tightly in place with one hand and place the other hand on the base of the flask.
When finished, immediately carefully pour the liquid through the correct sieve (45 μm for 100- 500 μm fraction; 106 μm for 500 μm – 2 mm fraction) trying not to pour the more dense sediment into the sieve. Fill flask with another 300 ml of Milli-Q and repeat process. Do this 7 times. The aim is to remove all the less dense biological material from the flask through decantation, while keeping the more dense sediment in the flask.
Collect the material in the sieve and weigh it using a sterile spatula and falcon tube. Put exactly half of the material in a 50 ml falcon tube, fill the tube with ethanol and freeze as a back-up. Place the other half in a sterile mortar and use a pestle to crush the sample for 1 minute. Collect the sample in a 50 ml falcon tube, using a little ethanol to re-suspend it and fill the tube with 95 % ethanol. This sample is now ready for DNA extraction. Store samples at -20C until extraction.
Finally, collect the sediment left in the conical flask, using a little Milliq water and pour into the same sieve used in the previous step. Collect the material, weigh it and place in a 50ml falcon tube. Fill with ethanol and freeze at -20C.
