Overall: I prefer proposed hook. @Cwmhiraeth: You understand this better but the infobox says Subphylum-Eleutherozoa and source says subphylum-Asterozoa. An image of this beautiful brittlestar on the article page would be nice. Well done on another interesting article. Whispyhistory (talk) 18:29, 22 July 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. The taxonomy varies between authorities so I have removed the subphylum altogether. This is what the article on Ophiurida does, but not the one on Amphiuridae. It's all very confusing. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:30, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
