This image shows the hydranth of a hydroid in the genus Ectopleura and most probably the species Ectopleura larynx. There are a similar number of aboral and boral tentacles. The hydroid possesses a collar under the body of the hydranth. This hydroid was photographed in the Queen Elizabeth 2 marina, St. Peter Port harbour, Guernsey on 1 June 2006 using a Canon camera with a 100 mm macro lens and a bellows to increase magnification. The image was taken by leaning over the edge of the pontoon and looking into the water. File No. 30-853 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net

This image shows the eggs of the red ribbon worm, Lineus ruber, in a gelatinous tube. The tube was attached to the base of a boulder located near the top of the shore in Havelet Bay on the southern edge of St. Peter Port on Guernsey's east coast. Individual sand grains can be seen to the right of the eggs. The horizontal field of view is about 13 mm. The reddish pink bivalve clam on the right could be Lasaea rubra. Photographed on 8 March 2004. File No. 7-721 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
The by-the-wind sailor, Velella velella, is a colonial hydroid in the phylum cnidaria. By-the-wind sailors possess a thin, almost flat oval chitinous float with a vertical fin-like sail attached diagonally across the top of the float. Tentacles, which possess weak stinging cells, surround the central mouth underneath the float. This image is taken of the underside of the edge of the float and shows some of the tentacles that ring the mouth. This species occasionally shows up on Guernsey's west coast beaches usually during the Autumn / Fall when south-westerly winds bring them into the English Channel. Occasional we see them on Guernsey's east coast during a period of easterly wind. Photographed on the 12 December 1999. File No. 121299 33-353 ©RLLord fishinfo@guernsey.net
