The compound star ascidian, Botryllus schlosseri, is found all year long on the Guernsey seashore but the colonies are much larger and more noticeable during the summer months.  Each zooid in this photo has a red spot. The zooids form rings which gives them their common name, star ascidian. The oral siphon is on the edge of the ring and the atrial siphon opens to a common cloaca in the centre of each ring of zooids.
Photographed on 6 September 1998.
