[Coral-List] Tubastraea on GOM oil rigs

[Eugene Shinn]

Colin, The health of this species along with the 6 or 7 other 
tropical corals that presently live on many rigs will be an 
interesting study for someone. Lets all hope the gusher ends soon. It 
certainly has been a spill of opportunity for many and a disaster for 
others. Gene
