sealord > This colony of the bryozoan Watersipora subtorquata is the first record of this species in the British Isles. It was found growing on the south side of a pontoon running along the southern wall of the Queen Elizabeth II marina in St. Peter Port, Guernsey, Channel Islands on 30 May 2007. John Ryland, Emeritus Professor of Marine Biology, from the University of Wales Swansea and Dr. Joshua Mackie from Moss Landing Marine Laboratories in California identified the species for me. This species may have been found since the initial discovery in Plymouth, England by Dr. John Bishop on the hull of a beached ship. This species is native to the western Atlantic and the Caribbean.

sealord > Ross coral, Pentapora fascialis, grows in the Little Russel, which is the sea channel between Guernsey and Herm off Guernsey's capital, St. Peter Port. The zooids form heavily calcified bilaminar plates that intersect to produce a three-dimensional solid but brittle structure that resembles a coral head (phylum cnidaria) hence the common name. This colony was growing on a cobble on the seafloor. It had a width of about 30 cm. These colonies can live 12 years. It was photographed on 11 July 2004. File No. 110704 13-745

Some of the zooids have extended their lophophores (bell-shaped ring of ciliated tentacles) to feed. File No. 010803 13-682 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

sealord > Pink colonies of the soft coral, Alcyonium hibernicum, growing on the side of a metal pontoon float attached to the fish quay in St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey, Channel Islands, Great Britain. The pontoons were placed in the sea about three years ago. Species identification was made by Dr. Bernard Picton from Northern Ireland and Professor Katherine McFadden from Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California.
