Evaluate the article
The article is chalk full of good information but after reading the article I am left feeling more empty than satisfied with the information. The structure of the article in my opinion is good, the article is just missing a lot of information. I would like to have seen when the coral was first discovered. The article covers that they have been studying and finding it more frequently these later years but does not state when it was first discovered. I would have also like to have seen where this coral is native at. The article does not mention anything about the corals native habitat. I know the article states that we do not know much about the coral however, I feel like these questions should be the first ones to have answers when discovering a species. After doing a little research myself I could not find the exact date that bamboo coral was discovered. However, I found out that you can find Bamboo Coral in the Mediterranean Sea along with oceans near Japan and Alaska.
