Gregarious squat lobster in hand

• ... that shoals of Munida gregaria (pictured), the gregarious squat lobster, can be up to 5 km (3.1 mi) long?

5x expanded by Marshelec (talk). Self-nominated at 08:16, 15 July 2022 (UTC).

• Starting Review--Kevmin § 18:51, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
• The article expansion is recent enough and long enough, but I have concerns about close paraphrasing between the source material and the article. There is very little original wording, and only minor shuffling of phrase positioning between the Stuff article and the wiki article.--Kevmin § 22:51, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

• The article expansion is recent enough and long enough, hook is cited and sourced. The sources are reliable and NPOV. The close paraphrasing has been addressed, and the image is main page compatible. Editor is exempt from QPQ. Looks good to go. --Kevmin § 14:41, 16 July 2022 (UTC)
