Tunicotheres

 * ... that the pea crab Tunicotheres moseri lives inside the water-filled chamber of a sea squirt? Source: "... Tunicotheres moseri that dwells in the atrial chamber of Caribbean ascidians."
 * ALT1:... that the pea crab Tunicotheres moseri lives inside an ascidian?

 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough. Long enough. Within policy. QPQ is done. Both hooks are within the length limit. QPQ is done. I prefer Alt0 over Alt1, but the source doesn't specifically say the atrial chamber is water-filled. Ascidiacea clarifies the chamber's function with a source, but I'll let the nominator decided whether or not to add that to this article. Additionally, I think being the genus having only one species sounds neater, unless this is more common than I'd expect? That particular claim doesn't have a direct source, though.

 * Thanks for the review. All ascidians draw water in through a siphon, filter out the edible particles and pump the water out through another siphon, so they are all full of water. It would be pretty silly repeating that information for each species, which is why I added ALT1. The monotypic genus is quite common and not of much interest. Most pea crabs live inside molluscs so this one is most unusual, and possibly unique. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:58, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
