Lebrunia coralligens[edit]
- ... that the tissues of the hidden anemone contain symbiotic single-celled algae?

Date, length, references and QPQ are good. I looked at the source for the hook fact, but it doesn't seem to state clearly that the relationship between the anemone and the zooxanthellae is symbiotic (although I'm not well-versed in biology/ecology so I may be missing something). It would also be nice to have a reference for "hidden anemone" in the lead to verify the colloquial name. 97198 (talk) 14:36, 19 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. I agree that it doesn't say symbiotic in the source but I would say it was common knowledge as shown here in our sea anemone article. I could source it from my Invertebrate Zoology book but the information would not be specifically about this sea anemone. I have added a reference for the common name.

- I think it's a good idea to add in that extra source, just to be safe, to verify that general anemone/algae relationships are symbiotic with the original ref to confirm that this specific anemone does host the green algae. Thanks. 97198 (talk) 03:02, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
