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. File No. 210907 1136 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > A palaemonid prawn hides under a ledge in a rock pool in Belle Greve Bay. The tip of the rostrum of this prawn is missing. Palaemonid shrimp or prawns (the names are interchangable) are abundant in Belle Greve Bay. They seem to co-exist very well with the numerous intertidal fish species in the bay. They are good scavengers cleaning up after others. Photographed on 4 February 2007. File No. 040207 6045 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > A young bootlace worm, Lineus longissimus, measuring about half a metre long, travels over a rock surface in Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast. This ribbon worm, phylum nemertea, can grow in excess of 30 metres long. It possesses ten to forty dark eyes on each side of the head.

sealord > This attractive nudibranch, Polycera faeroensis, was photographed by hanging over the edge of a pontoon in the Queen Elizabeth 2 marina in St. Peter Port harbour on 26 September 2006. This is the first time I have seen this species in the marina. Previously I have seen this species in crab pots off Guernsey's south coast. File No. 260906 4-863 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
sealord > The sea slug, Acanthodoris pilosa, was found during low water in a dry condition in a depression underneath a large boulder in the Fucus serratus (serrated wrack) zone of Belle Greve Bay on Guernsey's east coast on 5 January 2007. This species was identified from photographs by Dr. Julia Nunn of the Ulster Museum and Dr. Bernard Picton of the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum, Northern Ireland.

sealord > This beautiful green sea hare, Elysia viridis, lived in an upper shore tide pool on the beach at L'Eree on Guernsey's west coast. This warm pool catches the afternoon sun. The green sea hares here are the largest in Guernsey. They feed by sucking out the cell contents of certain green seaweeds such as this Codium species photographed. These sea hares do not destroy the chloroplasts that they consume. They incorporate them into their tissue and put them to work producing carbohydrates from the sun's energy.

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.
