Taxonomy: For all marine species, Project Gastropods uses the taxonomy in the online database WoRMS. When starting a new article, do not use sources of taxonomic information that predate the 2017 revision for all gastropod groups ("Revised Classification, Nomenclator and Typification of Gastropod and Monoplacophoran Families" by Philippe Bouchet & Jean-Pierre Rocroi, Bernhard Hausdorf, Andrzej Kaim, Yasunori Kano, Alexander Nützel, Pavel Parkhaev, Michael Schrödl and Ellen E.

Coleman's Melibe in Komodo, Indonesia

... that Coleman's Melibe (pictured) has an appearance that one commentator described as looking like a "string of snot in the water"? Source: "This absolutely unbelievable species doesn't even look like an animal, let alone a nudibranch. If we hadn't found the sheathed rhinophores one would think it was just a string of snot in the water." by Miller, Michael D.; Behrens, Dave. "Opisthobranch of the Week is Melibe colemani". slugsite.us
- ALT1: ... that Coleman's Melibe (pictured) is known as the " holy grail of nudibranchs" by diving enthusiasts? Source: "March 2017. I am on the island of Romblon, in the Philippines. "Here we have the Holy Grail of nudibranchs", announces proudly Philipp, of the diving centre The Three P." by Bourbeillon, Corinne (5 June 2017). "Melibe colemani: the Grail of nudibranchs". petitesbullesdailleurs.fr. "It looks like a pile of strings, the rest of its body is see-through, even the organs can be seen. A very strange underwater creature, the holy grail of nudibranchs." The Ghost Nudi in More Fun Diving

- Comment: Really weird looking little nudibranch, glad I could find some good photographs for the wiki page! Going to have to get used to this new DYK UI... Thank you in advance to the reviewer, I'm going to review a page later today! UPDATE: Finally did a QPQ after quite some time.

Starting review-- Kev min § 15:33, 26 January 2022 (UTC) reply
- Article new enough and long enough, with full referencing. As an article consistency consideration, the prose swaps between the binomial and Coleman's Melibe depending on the paragraph. a quick clean up to match the article title for consistency is appreciated.-- Kev min § 15:43, 26 January 2022 (UTC) reply
  - Hello @ Kevmin:, thank you for taking the time to review the article! Just for the sake of clarity, do you want me to change everything to "Coleman's Melibe" or "M. colemani"? Ornithoptera ( talk) 01:56, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
    - Ornithoptera I would suggest using Melibe colemani and M. colemani for consistency with the article title.-- Kev min § 02:49, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply
      - There we go! Updated the article as per your recommendations! Thank you for your suggestions! Ornithoptera ( talk) 02:52, 29 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Article new enough and long enough, fully referenced, and neutrally worded. Hooks are cited and sourced, with both sources appearing to meet WP:source guidelines. Not policy issues identified. Good to go.-- Kev min § 00:17, 31 January 2022 (UTC) reply

Thank you so much for your help! I hope you enjoyed the article and thank you for taking the time to read it! Ornithoptera ( talk) 06:46, 31 January 2022 (UTC) reply
