Weird name. Weirder appearance. Initial comments (will take a closer look tomorrow):
ascidian (sea squirt)instead. Also, should the alternative name skeleton panda ascidian (Hasegawa & Kajihawa 2024, p. 53) be mentioned, either in the lede or Etymology?
anchored to the substrateJust say surface
currents, in colonies"currents. It lives in colonies". Also with the last sentence: "The researches formally described it three years later."
formally undescribedreplace "not formally described"? I can't put my finger on why I find this weird. Also, link to undescribed taxon.
Thanks to crowdfunding effortsis colloquial. Maybe "Supported through crowdfunding" instead?
the tunicateReplace with a simple pronoun, as most readers don't know what a tunicate is.
only accessible
Four specimens were collectedYou don't have to specify this, because there is always only one holotype (link holotype and paratype in the next mention). Also, does one colony count as one specimen?the holotype and three paratypes,in colonies ranging from one to four individuals.
morphologicaland
spiracles.
Clavelina ossipandae wasThe first can just be replaced with identified, sister species can be linked, and doesn't the last bit belong in the article for the genus instead of this one?more precisely recoveredidentified as the sister species of C. australisinside the genus Clavelina (found by the authors to be paraphyletic to Nephtheis)
known from Kume IslandBy "known from", do you mean "discovered in" or "living in"?
phytoplankton.
Clavelina ossipandae,
C. ossipandae, or
Skeleton panda sea squirt?
ascidian ( sea squirt)to avoid MOS:SOB. Alternative name is mentioned in the lede, I'll add a sentence in the Etymology section
morphological traitswas linked to morphology (biology), but there is no article for spiracles in tunicates ( spiracle is a disambiguation leading to spiracle (vertebrates) and spiracle (arthropods)). Should I link to the tunicate morphology section?
