 * Not sure how much difference being an admin will make but I don't see why a day should matter. Therefore this is Symbol confirmed.svg good to go. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:37, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but find the hook rather flat. It would be more interesting to mention something about the symbiotic relationship with the coral. Yoninah (talk) 15:47, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I hesitate to call it a symbiotic relationship when the sources do not, but we could have
 * ALT1 ... that the tubeworm Eunice norvegica often grows in association with a deep water coral, twining its tube round the branches of the coral? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:28, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
 * What about:
 * ALT2: ... that the tubeworm Eunice norvegica lives in a mutual relationship with deep water corals? Yoninah (talk) 20:42, 23 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I think not ALT2. It's like the plant European ivy - if there is a tree, the ivy makes use of it by climbing up it. If there is no tree nearby, the ivy grows across the ground. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:19, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * OK. But I don't see anything in the source about "twining" (good word!) or "wrapping" round the branches of the coral. The source says: where it lives in a parchment-like sinuous tube which may be entirely surrounded by the coral. Yoninah (talk) 19:36, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I think the tube is "sinuous" because it is intertwined with the coral. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:59, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for my ignorance, but the ALT1 hook seems to be saying the coral is on the outside, whereas ALT1 sounds like the worm is on the outside. Do you want to say "intertwining its tube with the branches of the coral"? Yoninah (talk) 21:04, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not quite sure what you mean but rather than tying ourselves in knots, I suggest we return to the original hook. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:17, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Good idea. Restoring tick per Callanecc's review. Yoninah (talk) 06:03, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
