... that the colonial bryozoan Walkeria uva grows on red or brown algae and may escape observation until discovered by chance in the laboratory? Source: "La taille réduite des colonies, de 2 à 4 centimètres habituellement, rend cette espèce difficile à observer en plongée et c'est lors d'observations des épiphytes* d'algues en laboratoire qu'on aura le plus de chances de la découvrir."

No copyvios detected and duplication detector of online source
[1] reveal no close paraphrasing issues (AGF source in French which can't go through Dup detector). Article is well-sourced. Hook is 140 characters long (under 200 character max.) and is interesting. Ref 2 (verifying the hook) is a reliable source (though in foreign language, no need to AGF as I understand French and hence what is written in the ref). QPQ done. Looks good to go! —
