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.

sealord > 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.

sealord > This tiny anemone, Gonactinia prolifera, is common in the Queen Elizabeth 2 marina, St. Peter Port, Guernsey.  This anemone rarely grows larger than 5 mm in height including the tentacles. R.L. Manuel who wrote "British Anthozoa" as part of the Synopses of the British Fauna states "this is the smallest known sea anemone."  It is a very active species being able to swim and to move around over the substrate.  It reproduces asexually by transverse fission.  This image shows the anemone in the process of transverse fission with two sets of tentacles.  The base of the column with the shorter tentacles protruding will become another anemone.  Photographed on 3 September 2005
