Rose coral skeleton

... that rose coral (skeleton pictured), a member of the Mussidae family, can right itself if it gets turned over? Source: ".. even turning the polyp or small colony over by expanding the tissue with seawater taken into the gastrovascular cavity as in Fungia spp. or Manicina areolata."

@Cwmhiraeth: Manicina is new (August 19th), Mussidae 5x expanded (starting August 18th). Both long enough, sourced, no apparent copyvios, two QPQs done. Nice hook! Non-QPQ comments:

Mussidae: Why is "brain coral" in bold? And what does "meaty food" mean?

Manicina: Perhaps link polyp and mesentries. Is "elongate oral disc" intentional, or did you mean "elongated"? The latter seems more natural to me, although use of the former as an adjective is still correct. Also, I'd reword the last sentence in the "Ecology" section; it's somewhat awkward, and seems to have an extra noun at the end (corals, species). --Usernameunique (talk) 09:43, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: does any more need to be done to these articles? I'd really like to promote this hook with the image. Yoninah (talk) 22:43, 11 September 2017 (UTC)
