Talk:Montastraea cavernosa

External Review
Hi Meflanag - My name is Jolie, and I'm the Project Coordinator for the WikiProject Limnology & Oceanography team. Your external review for your article on Montastraea is posted below. If you have any questions about your review, or would like to clarify anything, please feel free to let me know by posting a message on my talk page and I'll pass it along to your external reviewer. Thanks, and all the best as you wrap up your Wikipedia editing assignment!

EXTERNAL REVIEW - I think in general the article needs a little bit more of information and could be structured in 2 different sections:

1. Description

Here I would state the scientific name, family and morphological descriptors (some of them explained in the old article). Here I would describe its tolerance to temperature, bleaching and how it can process nutrients due to its status as a zooxanthellate. Some information that could be important to explain about its morphology its how it is different to other species of coral because of its large calices and describe its color. https://coralpedia.bio.warwick.ac.uk/en/corals/montastraea_cavernosa

Some information about its reproduction could also be useful. https://explorer.natureserve.org/Taxon/ELEMENT_GLOBAL.2.108908/Montastraea_cavernosa

2. Habitat

I think the student does a great job explaining the range of this species. I would add this in this section plus the adaptability to depth variation. I think it is really interesting how this species' colonies vary based on depth and I think this could also be explained in this section.
