14. The sponge S. cerebriformis was collected at the northwest coast of Panama from a depth of 2-3 m (Ref. [5a,b]); stony-coral Tubastraea sp. samples were collected in a reef environment from a depth of 3 m at Comoro Islands (Ref. [3a]), from a depth of ca. 3 m at Capsalon Island, Philippines (Ref. [6a] and [3a]), and from a depth of 12 m depth in the Hanish Islands archipelago, Yemen (Ref. [3b]). The depth was not mentioned in the description of the collection of Tubastraea sp. in the Odomari area, Kagoshima prefecture, Japan (Ref. [3a] and [4b]) and for the sponge Ianthella cf. flabelliformis, which was collected at Lonsdale wall, Port Phillip, Australia (38°17'55''S, 144°37'76''E).

16. Indeed, preliminary results (LC/MS traces, see Ref. [5b]) indicated a conversion of dictazole A into dictazoline C under microwave activation in water, following the seminal and beautiful conversion of sceptrin into ageliferin under such conditions; see:, B.

The special [2+2] photochemical origin of sceptrin has also been discussed, but attempts to realize this [2+2] dimerization have previously been unsuccessful; see
