Article on "new" Strawberry crab
[edit]Reported [1]. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:00, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, that is weird that they call it "new," because this article was created in 2006, with the same species name as is used now. Grundle2600 (talk) 21:56, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- That Yahoo! news link won't last long, so here is a more permanent link to an article in the Daily Mail. Grundle2600 (talk) 21:58, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- So we have two reliable sources claiming that this is a new discovery, but we also have a wikipedia article going back four years ago. Since we can't cite wikipedia as a reliable source, it would be completely within wikipedia rules to say that this is a new discovery, even though we know that that can't possibly be true. Isn't it weird how things work sometimes? Grundle2600 (talk) 22:00, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
- I didn't think they were the same species. I only looked quickly, but I didn't think the geographical habitats overlapped. If that's the case then the question is what is the scientific name for the newly discovered species? Is it related to this Strawberry Crab? Second cousins?

- You're right. The Daily Mail article says the new species resembles the old species. Grundle2600 (talk) 17:34, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Prose
[edit]Someone please rewrite this entire article: '.....so don't mistake it for the large more plant-like macro algae which most small inverts. do not eat, i.e. strawberry crabs. Most do well with other similar sized inverts however some large fish may eat strawberry crabs and of course other small inverts. As with other less commonly kept inverts you should keep and eye out for its temperament with other inverts for the first couple weeks. As with all saltwater captive life including of course corals etc. there are always first times for known troubles....' 207.38.156.111 (talk) 20:33, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
