Does Hard Shell on a Symbiosis species, or on its protector, count when deciding whether Symbiosis protects it?

Several players agree Hard Shell applies only to the attacked species, with no direct designer ruling on Symbiosis.

No. Hard Shell is not a real size increase. When checking Symbiosis, ignore Hard Shell, which applies only when the species that has it is actually attacked. A neighbour's Hard Shell does not protect a Symbiosis species.
