*Manicina areolata*

[James C. Hendee]

Dear Juan, 

	There was an excellent Ph.D. thesis published in December, 1991, 
called "Population Ecology of a Free-Living Coral:  Reproduction, 
Population Dynamics, and Morphology of *Manicina areolata* (Linneaus)" by 
Kenneth George Johnson, Graduate College of The Univesity of Iowa.  It 
probably has most everything you need, including a wealth of great 
references, tables, photographs and graphs.  Your librarian should be able 
to check it out for you on Interlibrary Loan.  This library reference  
might be of help: 

	QL 
	377 
	.C5j67 
	1991 

	Don't know what there might be that is more recent. 

	Hope this helps... 

	Cheers, 

	Jim Hendee
