... that the starfish Luidia savignyi feeds on sea urchins and starfish, swallowing its prey whole? Source: La nutrition est spectaculaire car elle est intra-orale : contrairement à de nombreuses étoiles de mer qui dévaginent leur estomac, L. savignyi avale sa proie par la bouche qui peut s'ouvrir largement. Son disque central est alors déformé par la présence de l'animal en cours de digestion.

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk) and Estopedist1 (talk). Nominated by Cwmhiraeth (talk) at 19:22, 1 January 2022 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Cwmhiraeth, review follows: article more than 5x expanded from 30 December; article is well written and exceeds minimum length; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing from the single English-language source; hook fact is mentioned in the article and supported by the source (in French); a QPQ ahs been carried out. One minor comment, which I won't hold up approval over: the article states that it eats sea urchins and heart urchins but the only comment I can find in the source is "d'oursins irréguliers" which, literally translated, is "irregular urchins", is this a term that means the same thing? - Dumelow (talk) 10:00, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct, and I have changed the article accordingly. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:08, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
