- Now that the crab has a new wikipage, we can have a double-DYK hook:
- ... that the sea anemone Adamsia palliata growing on the exterior of a gastropod shell inhabited by the hermit crab Pagurus prideaux is capable of enlarging the shell to better accommodate the crab inside?
Is there a chance you can provide page numbers to the citation from the 1860 book? (Just a single page range into which all citations fall would probably be enough). Also, a link like this - https://archive.org/details/actinologiabrita00gossuoft - to the main page of this book on archive.org - would probably be more useful than one to the lame OCR version. -- Vmenkov (talk) 02:18, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for improving the citations. Checked everything; good to go! (Thinking of it, it as amazing that one can write a biology article in Wikipedia using so much material from a book 150 years old, but I suppose that Dr. Gosse in 1860 already knew pretty much everything there is to know about this anemone...) -- Vmenkov (talk) 05:29, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
