Can a Carnivore attack a Symbiosis species while the larger species protecting it is still on the table?

The designer confirmed the protection holds while the larger partner is on the table, and that Intelligence is the official way round.

No. A Symbiosis species cannot be attacked while the species on its right with a larger Body Size is on the table, regardless of the attacker's size. Ways round it are Intelligence, which discards a card to negate Symbiosis for one attack, or removing the larger species first by attacking it normally.
