A fact from Actinostella flosculifera appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the Did you know column on 30 June 2021 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as
this nomination's talk page,
the article's talk page or
Wikipedia talk:Did you know), unless there is consensus to re-open the discussion at this page. No further edits should be made to this page.
... that in times of food scarcity, the collared sand anemone may consume the symbiotic
zooxanthellae in its tissues? Source: "Cette observation suggère que l'anémone est capable de digérer régulièrement ses propres zooxanthelles, ce serait même sa principale source de nourriture, avec une capture accessoire de proies animales."
ALT1:... that when disturbed, the collared sand anemone can completely bury itself in the seabed?
The article was created seven days before the nomination, is long enough, and complies with the relevant policies (no detectable plagiarism, neutral, dense use of inline-citations). Both hooks are within the character limit; both facts are in the article and are backed up by a French-language source which they reflect accurately. Boot are fine though I personally lean towards ALT1 because it's more easily understood by a broader audience. QPQ confirmed.

Front page reference doesn't match article?
Today Wikipedia's front page says, "... that in times of food scarcity, the collared sand anemone may consume the symbiotic zooxanthellae in its tissues?" This article does not say anything about food scarcity. Many corals do, in fact, consume their symbionts when food is scarce. Confusion?
