 * Symbol question.svg Article was new enough and long enough. The lead does not appear to be supported by any source. Is the exact species specified anywhere in #3? Having some close paraphrase concerns regarding the sentence sourced to #6. Image is properly licensed and identified. Otherwise no issues of plagiarism or copyvio that I can see. Hook is supported to offline source and moderately interesting. QPQ is done. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 16:56, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reviewing the article. I have added a reference to the lead, the information came from the image caption. #3 does not mention this species by name but it does discuss the feeding methods of "Brisingids" and gives the genus as an example; Brisingidae is the family in which this genus and species are included. #6 Please quote the sentence in the source which you consider closely paraphrased. I think it is difficult to provide such factual information without using somewhat similar wording. I think the hook is very interesting. Most starfish do not have eyes. This one lives at 500m, where it is absolutely dark, yet it has eyes, which is surprising in itself, but having non-functioning eyes under these circumstances seems inexplicable.

 * I was thinking of the title of the now-source #7 but now thinking about this it was probably overblown. Thus Symbol voting keep.svg Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:58, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
