Substratum preference during recruitment of two invasive alien corals onto shallow-subtidal tropical rocky shores. (2007, unknown): “This azooxanthellate often occurs on ship bottoms, dock pilings, buoys and attached to man-made objects (Cairns 2000, De Paula & Creed 2004, Fenner & Banks 2004, Sammarco et al. 2004), and has invaded the Gulf of Mexico, Florida and the Caribbean (Fenner & Banks 2004), expanding its range from the I”
Urban marine ecology in southern California: the ability of riprap structures to serve as rocky intertidal habitat (2009, background): “In studies where age was found to inXuence diversity all the sites were relatively young, less than 20 years, and most less than 10 ( Sammarco et al. 2004; Osborn 2005; Pinn et al. 2005).”
The invasion of the azooxanthellate coral Tubastraea (Scleractinia: Dendrophylliidae) throughout the world: history, pathways and vectors (2016, background): “Sammarco et al. (2004) and Fenner and Banks (2004) reported that T. coccinea had been found on the Flower Garden Banks (FGB) in the northwestern GOM in 2002, the first report on natural substrate.”
Exotic invertebrate species on offshore oil platforms (2006, background): “…· Diadumene sp.

Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, background): “In the northern Gulf of Mexico, c. 4000 oil and gas platforms have extended the distribution of coral populations into offshore areas where they were previously absent (e.g. Sammarco et al., 2004).”
Change in tropical rocky shore communities due to an alien coral invasion (2011, background): “…is probably the most widespread invasive alien coral reported to date and 93 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 438: 85–96, 201194 occurs on ship bottoms, dock pilings, buoys, oil platforms and other human-made objects (Cairns 2000, Fenner 2001, Fenner & Banks 2004, Paula & Creed 2004, Sammarco et al. 2004).”
