In June, Iliona left Heidelberg to visit the Masayuki Hatta lab at Ochanomizu University in Tokyo, Japan. Under the kind guidance of Masayuki, Iliona learned how to work with coral larvae, how to induce metamorphosis and how to handle settled coral polyps. Her trip was a great success and paved the way to our planned comparative field work during the next spawning season in 2015. Thanks again to Masayuki Hatta for all his help!
