• I don't think that the use of a non-free image can be justified here. Have you done an thorough internet search to find a free image?
• "Synalpheus regalis is a shrimp[2] that commonly live in sponges of coral reefs along the tropical West Atlantic." - 'is' is the singular form, but "commonly live in" is the plural form. Be consistent; 'shrimp' can be singular or plural, so it doesn't matter which this is, but please be consistent.
• The lead contains information which is not covered in the body of the article. See MOS:LEAD
• What you have written about the animal's behaviour is fantastic, but is there further information out there regarding its discovery and etymology, niche and habitat or evolution?

I will continue the review once these points have been addressed. —Andrew_stalk 06:18, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Due to there being no substantial activity to address these points, I am closing the review now. With some expansion and addition of info regarding evolution and discovery etc, and a copy-edit for prose quality and MoS compliance, this article should make it to GA next time. Good luck!

P.S., I am going to remove the non-free image as it doesn't meet WP:NFCC. Adabow (talk) 21:20, 26 December 2012 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
