Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Nearest broader term FOODON:02022154 'sea cucumber' attached as a parent. Organism-identity screen (#109): grounded EXACT to FOODON:02022154 'sea cucumber', which is an echinoderm — an organism, not a place. The screen that exists to catch exactly this reported 0 for months because it tested only NCIT and mesh ancestry and only the record's identity; widening it to UBERON:0000468 and to parent_habitats surfaced this family. The GOLD path says host-associated, so the concept is the environment the organism provides, which is the same family as the sponge, nematode and reptile term requests. The organism term is kept as an xref (#99) rather than an identity. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.67b0fd9ee7)
