'Description' is a stub

"Description

V. hilgendorfii is a small animal, only 3 millimetres long. It is nocturnal and lives in the sand at the bottom of shallow water. At night, it feeds actively.[3][4]

Bioluminescence (...)"

This doesn't even say on what it feeds, nor how, nor anything about its build, way of locomotion, etc. etc. etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:F61:1640:9446:96F9:7891:5AA5 (talk) 07:56, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
