  • solid articles based on multiple sources, offline sources accepted AGF. Minor questions: I found the term "aggressive" in the sponge article, adding it might make the hook a bit more interesting. In the coral article, the description starts with "polyps", please add a link or describe for readers unfamiliar with the topic. Then it says "polyps ... resembles a ... sea anemone", and I have my singular-plural problem again. Please improve (mention area ...?)
ALT1: ... that the coral Parazoanthus parasiticus grows on top of large corals, and the aggressive sponge Cliona delitrix grows over the surface of large corals?
Consider to make to split in 2 noms, as I see little connection between the two creatures? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:12, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I have made the improvements you suggested to the articles and reworded the proposed hook. The 2 articles are connected because the sponge attacks and covers a large coral and Parazoanthus parasiticus use the sponge as a host. I struck out ALT1 as it is factually inaccurate. Cwmhiraeth (talk)
  • Thanks, much better hook! - Next time please don't change the original hook, but propose an alternative, otherwise the discussion easily gets uncomprehensible. Having said that,
