Before 1982, this species was considered abundant at some sites, but the El Niño event of 1982 and 1983 destroyed most colonies of this species, except for two populations. But since 2000, scientists have not found any even at those two sites, indicating that the species is particularly sensitive to changes in the temperature of water in which they live.[2] This coral species is among the 25 "most wanted lost" species that are the focus of Global Wildlife Conservation's "Search for Lost Species" initiative.[3] References1. ^{{cite journal |author=Hickman, C. |author2=Edgar, G. |author3=Chiriboga, A. |last-author-amp=yes |title=Rhizopsammia wellingtoni |journal=The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species |volume=2007 |page=e.T63579A12683468 |date=2007 |url=http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/63579/0 |doi=10.2305/IUCN.UK.2007.RLTS.T63579A12683468.en |access-date=10 November 2017}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/63579/0/|title=Rhizopsammia wellingtoni|date=|work=IUCN Red List|access-date=|language=en-US}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://lostspecies.org/|title=The Search for Lost Species|date=|work=Global Wildlife Conservation|access-date=|language=en-US}} 4 : Endemic fauna of the Galápagos Islands|Endangered species|Critically endangered biota of South America|Animals described in 1982 |
