[Coral-List] sunken vessels as artificial reefs

[Douglas Fenner]

If I remember, one thing missing from the article is that "black reefs"
have so far only been found on atolls, which usually have very low nutrient
levels, except close to human population centers.  Also, the corallimorphs
are not really anemones, they are their own group, with similarities to
both anemones and corals.  And Palmyra is a relatively small atoll.  While
a number of wrecks have black reefs around them, as far as I know the
corallimorph outbreak on Palmyra is unique.
Cheers,  Doug
