“Rewrite!”

“. . . they housed extraordinary tubeworm reefs like those found nowhere else.”

Narration in a documentary from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, presumably composed and reviewed before recording.

In the same film, a U of Alaska ‘wildlife ecologist’ refers to lichen as a ‘species’.

Afterthought: regarding the former, I suppose you could call it a case of a misplaced privative. Obviously, it should be ‘unlike those found anywhere else’.
