Cliona californiana[edit]
- ... that the yellow boring sponge inhabits the shells of living scallops and oysters?
- Reviewed: Lutetium-hafnium dating
5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 19:16, 1 December 2017 (UTC).
- @Cwmhiraeth: long enough, recently 5x expanded enough, every non-lede paragraph cited, nothing questionable on Earwig, neutral. I think I would be happier if there was an in-line referenced sentence explicitly saying they live in the shells of scallops and oysters in particular. I also wonder if it might be better to clarify in the hook it's only young sponges which do this? QPQ is done, the only minor thing holding me back is just making sure the hook's information appears cited in the article. Hook is backed up by references, so I imagine this is an easy fix.

- @Umimmak: I have added an extra reference. I don't think the hook needs to specify young individuals because all the sources mention that it lives inside shells and only one mentioned the possibility of it being free-living at a later stage, and that would not be likely to happen on any host that moved around, like a scallop.

- @Cwmhiraeth: Thanks! That makes sense.
