I feel we are getting a little techical for a mainpage hook, is there a slightly better way to say "colonise sediments"? I think the rest is fine, the articles look good, QPQs done and it is a reasonably interesting hook, but might need a little dumbing down.

ALT2 ... that the gill chambers of the tiger lucine, the dwarf tiger lucine and the Pennsylvania lucine contain symbiotic bacteria which help them to live in sediments not suited to other bivalves?
ALT3 ... that the gill chambers of the tiger lucine, the dwarf tiger lucine and the Pennsylvania lucine contain symbiotic bacteria which help them to live in sulfide-rich sediments not suited to other bivalves?

@Lee Vilenski: Thank you for the review. How about ALT2 or ALT3 then? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:50, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't mind linking bivalves then I'd be happy. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 19:53, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
