 * Symbol confirmed.svg Hi Cwmhiraeth, review follows: articles created as new on 12 & 14 September; both articles exceed minimum length; both articles are well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; a spotcheck on some of the sources I could access didn't throw up any copyright violations or overly close paraphrasing; hook is interesting and used in both articles; hook is cited and checks out to Gibson et al; QPQs have been carried out. The wording of the hook feels a little awkward to me, but I couldn't think of a better way to word it (except perhaps replacing "...when the bivalve Lithophaga simplex bores..." with "...to have the bivalve Lithophaga simplex bore...", but that makes it seem like a choice of the coral).  Maybe the promoter will have a better suggestion.  Otherwise, this one looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 19:47, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
