As the author of the article, I do not like the suggested hook because it does not accurately reflect the facts in the source. I have edited the sentence in the article to which the hook refers to reflect this. I would also like to include this image for DYK because it looks good as a thumbnail.

~~ALT1 ... that a single stem of the kelp species Laminaria hyperborea (pictured) may have 80,000 invertebrates associated with it?~~
~~ALT2 ... that a single stem of the kelp species Laminaria hyperborea (pictured) may have epiphytic red algae dangling from it and house up to 80,000 invertebrates?~~

How about the original, now that I've re-written it? I think 'benthic animals' is more specific per the source than 'invertebrates'. Rcej (Robert) – talk 04:44, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, that looks fine actually. Casliber (talk · contribs) 06:40, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

I am happy with the revised hook but am disappointed at the omission of the image. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:58, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't follow - the image hasn't been omitted has it? Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:42, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Reference format has been fixed. Tick based on previous review. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:55, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
