Pacific Purple Sea Urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus) is an echinoderm in the (Strongylocentrotidae) family that is found along the eastern edge of the Pacific Ocean extending from Ensenada, Mexico, to British Columbia, Canada. "It is deep purple in color, and lives in the lower inter-tidal and nearshore sub-tidal communities. Its eggs are orange when secreted in water. January, February, and March are the typical active reproductive months for the species. Sexual maturity is reached around two years. It normally grows to a diameter of about 10 cm (4 inches) and may live as long as 70 years. Strongylocentrotus purpuratus is used as a model organism and its genome was the first echinoderm genome to be sequenced" https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/48035-Strongylocentrotus-purpuratus Pacific Purple Sea Urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus)

I've changed all the interaction field names from "Interaction: " to "Interaction->" to stop them messing with the photo tag processing on photo import. When adding photos already tagged with fields to the "Add an observation" page, it was only grabbing the field name text after the colon and so not working properly.
Everything works now that the colon is gone, so long as you use a recognised taxon name. For example, if I tag a photo on my computer with "Interaction->Visited flower of=Rosmarinus officinalis" and upload it, it will get this field added with the taxon Rosmarinus officinalis.
That can save a lot of time if you''re maintaining your own photo library in your computer and tagging lots of photos there and uploading them all at once.
