Hello, all:

I have heard reference to Millepora spp. as "weedy" species--i.e., 
establishing after disturbance.  Therefore, if a reef has an abundance of 
Millepora, this may be a sign of past disturbance or reef stress.  Has 
anyone else heard of this?  If so, does anyone know of anything published 
that could be cited?  Better yet, if there are any authors out there of any 
such references, might I request a reprint?

Thank you....

Laurie
