... that the tiny bivalve mollusc Montacuta substriata attaches to the spines of the purple heart urchin where it resembles a grain of sand?

(E. flavescens…). De couleur jaunâtre pâle, il se confond très facilement avec les gros grains de sable qui constituent le biotope habituel du spatangue pourpre ou autres oursins fouisseurs."

Hi
Cwmhiraeth, review follows:
Montacuta substriata created 25 September;
Spatangus purpureus converted from redirect 22 September; both articles are well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing; hook fact is mentioned in the mollusc article, is cited and checks out to the source; QPQ (covering two articles) has been carried out. Can't see any issues with this one -

Promoter's comment: I considered changing the hook from spine to near the anus, but eh, this works well enough without that reach.
