Neon triplefin on Diploastrea brain coral
- ... that small fish are often associated with Diploastrea brain coral (pictured)? Source: "Small gobies are often associated with this coral and can be seen lying on the surface or moving around in search of food" IUCN
5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 07:27, 10 December 2016 (UTC).
The article was expanded fivefold less than seven days before the nomination. It is long enough and neutral. It uses inline citations. There do not seem to be copyright violations. I am not sure if "Diploastrea brain coral" and "Honeycomb coral" are vernacular names of this species. They are not stated in the sources, but the vernacular name in this source is "double-star coral". The hook is cited, and the image is freely licensed. The QPQ is done.

- Those vernacular names were in the article before I expanded it. I have added references for them. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:45, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
The article is ready for DYK. Gulumeemee (talk) 11:08, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- I was about to promote this but found the hook a little boring and not specific (I am sure lots of fish are associated with lots of coral), but even substituting "gobies" for "fish" is a big improvement. Cas Liber (talk · contribs)
- ALT1 ... that small gobies are often associated with Diploastrea brain coral (pictured)?
- @Casliber: There is nothing particularly interesting about this coral, - it is different from other species but not in a particularly remarkable way, although it is the only species in its family. I have rewritten the article a little and proposed ALT1, but the fish in the picture is a blenny and not a goby. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:55, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

- @Cwmhiraeth: something's wrong with the link to footnote 1. Yoninah (talk) 21:04, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: Perhaps it was something temporary. It works for me now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:54, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
