Hello all!

I could use a little help tracking down the right source for one of our
favorite coral trivia facts. I was wondering if anyone knew the scientific
source of the stat that corals are <1% of the seafloor but host > 25% of
marine species? My internet quest keeps leading to webpages that cite other
webpages (if anything at all).

Also if you know of good studies that quantify the number of fisheries
species that spend a portion of their life on a coral reef please send them
my way!

Thank you so much!

Hanny
