A coral article - great for dyk....The final sentence - which is also the DYK hook needs further explanation so that those who do not know what a gall is can get to the interesting fact without looking elsewhere - I suggest Victuallers (talk) 00:05, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm trying to understand it myself enough to explain it more. —mattisse (Talk) 16:56, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
