 * Symbol question.svg Articles' length, date and sources check out. The hook however doesn't really make sense to me; how is digging yourself into the rock "more boring" than just hiding inside the crevice? It's a very subjective assessment, I reckon, because I think to dig with your teeth and spine is a lot more interesting than simply finding a crevice to hide. ;)
 * Suggest ALT1: ... that the sea urchin Echinometra viridis (pictured) hides in crevices while Echinometra lucunter and Echinometra mathaei dig themselves into the surrounding rocks?
 * I would also add this photo of Echinometra viridis, as it looks quite interesting and would be a change from the lead hooks we've had lately.

 * I am happy with ALT1, including the image. The word "boring" in the original hook is supposed to be a pun as the word not only means "dull or uninteresting" but also "drilling or making a hole". Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:25, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg :) Apologies, I had no idea that it could be used in that sense. Both the original hook (which makes a lot more sense now, after the explanation) and ALT1 are good to go. I'll leave it to the promoter to make the choice. Cheers. Yazan (talk) 08:52, 1 October 2012 (UTC)
