Tonna galea

(

)

... that the snail Tonna galea (shell pictured) is one of very few species of prosobranch gastropods that are luminescent?

Comment: Featured picture – will make a nice lead hook.

This is a well-written article that is > 5x expansion in text and nominated less than 5 days after the expansion began. I could find no copyright violations. The hook is under 200 charters, it is interesting and supported by the paper it cites. The photo is appropriate for the article and it is free. It is good to go.

I fixed the wording of the hook. "Gastropoda Prosobranchiata" is an out-of-date piece of terminology dating from 1958, which should never have been in italics anyway (only binomial names are styled in italics) so I changed it to "prosobranch gastropod". I also changed the wording a little bit. However, it's a very nice article and a nice hook. Invertzoo (talk) 18:28, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

I also changed (pictured) to (shell pictured) because only the shell is shown and it is actually the animal's soft parts that are luminescent. Invertzoo (talk) 01:20, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
