 * Symbol question.svg the source notes that this confusion takes place underwater:
 * ALT0a: ... that chalice coral and porous lettuce coral (pictured) can be confused underwater?
 * Also, I think some of the descriptive terms in these articles are unfamiliar to the average reader and should be linked. E.g. "hummocky" in Echinophyllia aspera; "submassive, encrusting or laminar" in Oxypora lacera. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:29, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I am happy with ALT0a. I have rephrased the Oxypora lacera description but really, when describing a coral you need to use appropriate technical terms. "Hummocky" is a normal English expression and I don't think it needs explanation. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:24, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg OK, thanks. ALT0a hook ref verified and cited inline. Rest of review per Fitindia. ALT0a good to go. Yoninah (talk) 10:59, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
