Is this fiction? It needs to be labeled as such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SmartDarren (talk • contribs) 19:30, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * no, this is a real organism. unfortunately, someone had added too much detail regarding their namesake fictional organism from star wars, so the confusion is understandable. scientists can name new species after lots of odd things, and self referential and recursive humor is allowed.

Size
Are the bacteria described actually ~1.2mm x 0.45mm as in millimeters, or is that micrometers? If it's millimeters, that sounds exceptionally large for a cell, especially a bacterium. --128.172.159.77 (talk) 21:29, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Parasitism
The text specifies that they parasite, but at the same time, that they are symbionts. Those two terms are contradicting each other by definition. I suggest replacing the term "parasite" by "feast upon". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aswarp (talk • contribs) 18:49, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
