Creationists don't have to invalidate common descent by cherry-picking specific examples where they can twist a paucity of data to suit their agenda.

They do that by producing actual data that supports another hypothesis while accounting for all (repeat all) the existing data.

Citing a poorly known group extant in environments unsuited to fossilisation where what we do have is compatible with common descent is just desperate wishful thinking. Tell them to get their hand off it.
