		Tui Malila, by contrast, is characterized by shorter and wider branched vent structures with coalesced spires, the tops of which were actively venting.
		Tui Malila hosts a more typical vent community, with greater abundances of both {\it Bythograeid} and {\it Galatheid} crabs, mostly within 4 m of the vent field.
		While the Tui Malila field appears most similar to vent fields along the ELSC with fault-related hydrothermal activity, higher temperatures and abundances of magmatic CO2 at Mariner point to a significant role for ongoing magmatic processes in regulating vent fluid chemistry.

		Eighty-one fluid samples were collected from six hydrothermal fields that span from 20°03'S to 22°13'S (from north to south: Kilo Moana, TowCam, Abe, Tui Malia, Mariner, and Vai Lili) using the ROV Jason 2.
		Ifremeria Nautilei and Bathymodiolus Brevior were prolific within 2 m of the vent field, and sponges and anemones abundant from 4 to 32 m away.
		While the Tui Malila field appears most similar to vent fields along the ELSC with fault-related hydrothermal activity, higher temperatures and abundances of magmatic CO at Mariner point to a significant role for ongoing magmatic processes in regulating vent fluid chemistry.
