Article isn't quite long enough - 1442 characters. First source does not say that it occurs in the shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific. The map in #2 does not seem to entirely support the statement on provenance, either. Rest is OK although I wonder if "invasive species" is an acceptable interpretation of "invasive" here. Didn't notice any plagiarism or copyvio or POV. A little uncertain of the hook - the source speaks of "smothered corallites" and cites "smothering" as one of the killing methods but it does not clearly say that this sponge use this method. So I'd be a little wary of using ALT1. QPQ is somewhat basic (no source check).

Jo-Jo Eumerus: Thank you for the review. Actually, I never really finished the article and had intended to return to it, but didn't. It should be long enough now. The distribution looks OK to me, you can click on the map in #3 to get a larger version. The Indian article mentions a depth range of 0.5 to 5.4 metres which seems like shallow water to me. I prefer ALT1, but you could argue that the coral tissue has already been killed before the sponge grows over it.
