Evaluate the drafted changes
(Compose a detailed peer review here, considering each of the key aspects listed above if it is relevant. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what feedback looks like.)

Lead

Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed The lead section is a great introduction to the organism, but it is a little overly detailed. I would recommend consolidating the lead into key points from each section (something like the coral habitats are threatened by human activity and environmental changes... rather than listing each specific threat, as well as removing the detail about the specific organisms sheltered by the corals) and then expand on these points in future sections.

Content

Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?- I think if you were to include the information about the Red Coral Thickets as a subsection under distribution and habitat it might help with the flow of the article. Also if there is more information on the coral as keystone species, I would include that here if you are able to (For example, how does the coral indicate the health of the ecosystem? If removed, what would happen?)

Tone

The article is unbiased, but on occasion there are words that seem a little casual, like "easy meal."

Sources and References

Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information? - Make sure to include the references for the information in the lead section

"Red tree corals grow axially and radially, producing structures of calcite and gorgonian skeletons that form dense thickets." needs a citation (Ignore this suggestion if this information is from the source on coral in the Alaska region)

Images and Media

Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic? - I think it would be beneficial to include more images. Maybe one of the larger ecosystem that the coral is a part of?- if you can find one.

Overall Impressions

What are the strengths of the content added?- The content added has transformed the article and really provides a good description of the coral species. I learned a lot of new information from your article!!

How can the content added be improved?- If there is information on other members of the family or taxonomic group, you could include a new section on the taxonomy of the species. I would also add more details on the description of the coral and how to identify it/differentiate it from similar species (if there are any). Overall the content presented is really good, since the page is separated into a bunch of pretty specific sections, I think each section could be expanded a little bit more.
