This is a very minor topic, being concerned mainly with the definition of a term which is not taxonomic, though it has confused many authors into thinking it was; there seems little or no prospect of the article's growing in size because there isn't really anything to say about it other than the term's definition (so, arguably barely notable in its own right, but a useful adjective). It might be best to have it simply as a subsection of Stony coral, leaving a redirect. Chiswick Chap ( talk) 09:21, 26 April 2015 (UTC) reply
