Opinion: Approved I think this is a good addition to the few numbers of Siluros we got this gen thus far, and has plenty of good adaptations for its new lifestyle and range. On the topic of the range, I'm not sure of what to call the exception, but if a mod said it's possible, I'll believe it.

Opinion: Approved Has good adaptations to avoid predation and increase genetic diversity. In general I think this is a good addition to the small number of microscopic organisms, or just algae in general, which have that bear a shell or anything similar.

"In the attempt to create a sphere..." This sentence is too long.

Sorry that I'm posting so many different things separately, I'm just pointing out things as I go along, and I'm not bothering to create another tab for this. I think everything else is fine though. Oh, and yeah I probably should now, I still have a second tab open from when I was looking at Tesseleaves a while back, but never posted the review and still have it sitting because of a run-on sentence.

Should "Foundlings" be capitalized? I feel like it should be, but I'd like to hear from others about this.

The next sentence also seems like it's missing context, possibly because of how the previous sentence is written, or because what this sentence is talking about isn't stated at the start.

And if anything, I think the way the second sentence of the first paragraph is written now, I think it's weirder to read than if it were two sentences, or just shortened/rewritten.

Undersea Forest, Coast, and Undersea Meadow are all three different flavors, so I think one should be removed since this is already in Reefs and the Sunlight Zone

I think it could still be broken down more, since the second sentence has a bit at the end that goes into a different topic.

Other than that I think it's good

And amoeba is mispelled

There's a second M in immobile

The basic info is generally very out of order

Oh it seems that the habitat was already fixed

Just listing things here so they don't get buried on Discord.

- Habitat has biomes that either don't exist anymore and/or are on the other side of Wright
- "Filter Feeding" on its own is invalid and should be elaborated on
- Plane is the correct word, plain refers to something that is bland or original.
- There needs to be an a in the part with "Goldberg polyhedron
- The second sentence in the first paragraph and first sentence in the second paragraph should be broken down
- the way the gills and eyes are described are weird/confusing and may need to be reworded

Also I noticed you didn't spell out the full name of the Common Nmander in its diet

Am I reading things wrong or is this a Wildcard? As far as I can tell I think it has six flavors?

"Hexagoleaves have replaced their ancestor within their habitat of Krakow island, originating from a tasseleaves on the rim of the Krakow watershed, a random split from 4-sided symmetry into 6 allowed them to maximize the connection surface area to each neighbor and overcome the weaker connection of square shapes in their corners, improving nutrition, signal flow within and structural integrity within the resulting honeycombs."

I think this could be broken down to something like this:

"Hexagoleaves have replaced their ancestor within their habitat of Krakow Island, originating from a population of Tesseleaves with a mutation that resulted in six sides instead of four. This allowed them to have more, stronger connections with neighbors, and increased the efficiency of their nervous system, nutrients transmission, and structural integrity."

I was about to post a review, but there's a huge run-on sentence.

Do they regurgitate the latex from their mouth, anus, or both? It seems like they wouldn't be able to do it with just one or by themselves considering how close some are to each end of their body.

I think the scientific name needs to be listed, even if it's the same as the common name?

  • Internal?: Longer intestines
  • Behavioral/Mental?: Nocturnal and has little fear response

Opinion: Approved My only complaints are that one paragraph is only one sentence and the limbs in the supplement are confusing to look at, but otherwise I think this is a fine species. I don't know how I'd make the radula-like limbs look either.

Opinion: Pending The supplementary in the corner is confusing, and the armor grooves look like patterns. I'm also not sure if the suction and how their nostrils look are perfectly plausible due to their anatomy. I'm also not fully sure what everything on this template is for, so somebody else who knows more than me would be of help.

To me the name Vinagoon makes it sound like it's a Vinagob descendant, and Vinegoon also kind of makes me think of them

I've gone through each of my submissions with Desktop View and added B21 at the end of them.

Oh, I don't think I've ever read or been told this before. I'll try to remember this when I submit anything in the future.
