Did you know... that rose coral(skeleton pictured), a member of the Mussidae family, can right itself if it gets turned over?

This article is duplicative of the Manicina areolata article. Monotypic genera only get one article, typically titled by the generic name. Abductive (reasoning) 18:36, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
How strange. I wonder how I failed to notice the other article. They should indeed be merged. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:10, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yes merging would be a good idea for a single species genera. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 23:52, 17 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I have performed the merger, but am unsure how to record it on the talk page of the two articles. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:43, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
With the more recent recognition of two additional species in the genus (M. grandis and M. navicula), I will request a move back to the species page and re-create the genus page as a stub to list all three species. Loopy30 (talk) 17:51, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
