This is obviously both a species article and a piece of entertainment, but we must take care to be neutral and serious in tone. It's on the whole well cited.
The sentence about "carnivorous" should be a separate section on "Feeding". What does it actually eat? Citation needed. How does it catch its food? Citation needed.
Not done I had no sources found on exactly what this species eats. I will do another search of the literature, and for now have copied information from the
siphonophorae article. However, as B. conifera lacks tentillae I could not apply the other information there. --

The paragraph on body plan should be a section headed "Description" or something of that sort. The material on how it differs from other genera could be a separate section on "Recognition".
Those would be rather small sections, and i think it would confure readers. Are there other taxonomic articles that have those two sections that I can look at? --

There isn't (and can't be) a single rigid pattern but if you look on
the GA page under 'Animals' you'll see plenty of examples of things that work.
We need some account of the fact that it is a colonial species, as each polyp is an individual; that can go in Description and needs to be cited.
If you copy from another article you must say so in an edit comment (even after the event), naming (and preferably linking) the article and saying "see there for attribution". Otherwise it's actually a copyright violation and we wouldn't want that now.
I suggest that the Japanese and Chinese sentences go into the "Name" section.
"main deity of Pastafarianism" is presented as if it were really a god. I think this needs rewording to provide clarity, and a serious encyclopedic tone.
I'm not sure what you mean. Is this article really the place to discuss religion? Apparently they say it is a deity, and others do not. What word would you use to describe it? --

It's not the god of any real religion. It's also supported by 4 sources, one in Chinese and the other 3 not even supporting the claim, as far as I can tell. I've used the Washington Post, a source which actually supports it.
OK, that seems to be everything. Good work. I hope you're pleased with the result and will take the time to pick an article to review from the GAN list.

Chinese "Name"
The source was merely translating the the English nickname "Flying Spaghetti Monster" that was written in the news into Chinese, and thus falls more into a "literal translation of 'Flying Spaghetti Monster' in other languages" list as opposed to "what Bathyphysa conifera is called (or can be called) in other languages". -
