Erratum to: Merging scleractinian genera: the overwhelming genetic similarity between solitary Desmophyllum and colonial Lophelia.

Erratum

As a result of vendor errors being introduced during processing, the original version of this article [1] was published with some duplication errors in Table 1.

In addition, the alignment of Table 1 attribute listed as “AA” is incorrect and should correspond as shown in the below updated version.

Lastly Page 10, third paragraph included an incorrect citation. This should read as “(see Additional file 1.4, Additional file 4)” instead of “(see Additional file 1, Additional file 4)”.

The original version of this manuscript has been updated to reflect the above changes.

We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.
