age, size and refs check out. Nice image. I think a more interesting way to phrase the hook might be (also the fact about widest ranges is not in the source)
- ALT1 ... that the orange sun star (pictured) can be found on the seabed in waters anywhere from 11 to 3,740 metres (36 to 12,270 ft) deep?
- I am happy with ALT1. I added "on the seabed" as making the hook more meaningful. I also rephrased the depth statement in the article - I agree that what it previously said was not precisely the same as what the source stated. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 17:54, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
