  • Lets go with the original hook. Its mysterious...the very purpose of the hook!! :-) Rcej (Robert) – talk 10:28, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Interesting, neutral, nice picture, new articles. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:07, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

ALT2 ... that while superba usually has five, magnifica (pictured) has ten, or even 11? - Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:01, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Good intentions, but I guess my point is that "superba" is not a species, it's just the second half of a name; the animal is either Luidia sp., or "Magnificent Star". Whether being mysterious in a global encyclopedia is OK or not I'll leave to others, but I feel that names should be given correctly or not at all. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:34, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
The epithet is "superba". How is it incorrect to use the epithet in a hook? Rcej (Robert) – talk 02:51, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
