... that the Atlantic cranch squid (pictured) has been nicknamed 'Eddie McBlobbles' for its defensive behavior of inflating itself into a ball with its head and tail inside out?

I'll review this shortly. SmartSE (talk) 13:17, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

No problems here. I've tweaked the hook slightly - do you think it is better? Have you thought about trying to get the NG photo released under a CC licence? It would be cool to have in the article if we could. SmartSE (talk) 13:33, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Hm, I think I prefer the previous. Not too sure about the use of "by" in your rewording. It's a gnarly sentence though and I'm not a native English-speaker, so whichever sounds best I guess. And nah on the NG photo. It would be nice, yeah, but there are very few pictures of the behavior. So I don't think the author would want to release it for public use (I wouldn't if I were him, heh).-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 14:16, 19 March 2012 (UTC)
