Hi there,
Can whoever edits these articles correct some inaccuracies in Oct 2007 edition?

There shouldn't be any mistaking the featured coral for Nephthea, it's not even from the Nephtheidae family. If you wanted to take a stab at a genera, you might say Sinularia. Consult a coral biologist if you remain unconvinced.
The author also appears to have confused the order Alcyonacea for the family Alcyoniidae. Coral of the order Alcyonacea are generally lumped under the common name "soft coral". Coral of the family Alcyoniidae are generally lumped under the common name "leather coral".
Regards
Glenn
