Danafungia scruposa is a species of coral found in the eastern and western Indian Ocean, the eastern central, northwestern and western central Pacific Ocean, Japan, the East China Sea, the Red Sea, and eastern Australia. It is around 25 centimetres (9.8 inches) in diameter and normally consumes a variety of food from bacteria to mesozooplankton measuring 1 mm (0.039 in) in diameter. During an algal bloom in 2009, researchers observed D. scruposa consuming the jellyfish Aurelia aurita, the first time such behaviour had been seen in the wild. This D. scruposa coral was photographed in the Red Sea off the Egyptian coast.Photograph credit: Diego Delso

A quick scan of my old Ency. Britannica noted as accomplishments: Cuban missle crisis, which may have helped lead Kruschev to sign, 10 mos later, the nuclear test ban treaty. It notes that Congress was indeed wary of his domestic plans (one that passed was the Peace Corps) in part because of the closeness of the election -- but that Kennedy was convinced he would win a 1964 landslide against Goldwater, and get the mandate for the massive tax cut, and civil rights leglislation that he wanted. -- Sholom 21:13, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
