Hi
Cwmhiraeth, review follows: article created 26 September; article exceeds minimum length and is well written (though I would prefer to see a slightly longer lead); I can't access many of the sources but I found no paraphrasing issues front the ones I could access; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; hook fact is mentioned in the article but source is not accessible to me (the abstract does not mention the coral name), happy to AGF; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me -

Completeness: No one in the world could give you a photo of Porites lutea?
