In my last edit, I was primarily adding information on gorgonia ecology. However, I took the liberty of replacing most references of "sea fan" with "gorgonia." I'm not married to the word gorgonia, but for some reason it just seems better to me.. I think Sea fan was unwieldy (it is rare that the common name is more unwiedly). Any opinions? I will see if I can find some additional policy statements/recommendation on this. WDavis1911 05:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
Currently, the lead starts with the name "gordonacea". But the lead also says that name is completely outdated and wrong.
The page title is gorgonian. Why? Why not gorgonia (which has more google book hits, but redirects to this page)? Or should this page be merged with the article titled by the current order name? Cesiumfrog ( talk) 02:09, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
I have restored the merge template as this article is located at what it admits is an outdated term. Not only that, but the first word of the article does not match the title but does match the current terminology. -- Khajidha ( talk) 15:10, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
