sealord > Since first discovering the invasive bryozoan, Watersipora subtorquata, in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey in June 2007 the colonies have multiplied and spread remarkably rapidly.  A punctured blue plastic bucket was bobbing up and down next to one of the fish quay pontoons.  One side of the bucket had a sheet of Watersipora sp. covering an area of about 15 by 20 cm.  The living part of the colony is orange.  I believe the black portion of the colony represents the skeletons of dead zooids.  Photographed on the 21 September 2007 with a Canon A640 digital camera in an underwater housing.

sealord > Two nudibranchs meet and mouth each other - Facelina auriculata on the left and Facelina bostoniensis on the right. They are gliding over erect bryozoan colonies and a Mogula ascidian on the lower edge and in the middle of the image.  They were feeding and laying egg veils on the side of the pontoon attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey on the 8th June 2007.

sealord > This view of the side of one of the pontoons attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey shows on the left colonies of the pink soft coral, Alcyonium hibernicum, and on the right a dahlia anemone, Urticina felina.  In the centre of the image ascidian siphons are covered by an orange bryozoan colony.  Emeritus Professor of marine biology John Ryland from Swansea University, Wales has identified this bryozoan as belonging to the genus Watersipora. It is an invasive species that has not been recorded before in the British Isles.  Photographed on the 21st September 2007.
