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.<br />

Sealord photography's biodiversity images began with a focus on international commercial seafood species and the marine life of the Bailiwick of Guernsey, Great Britain.

Sealord photography has a growing collection of digital images covering climate change, the environment and sustainability issues.

Sealord photography also covers the Guernsey community and particularly the fund raising activities of Guernsey charities as part of the island's social sustainability.

The fish, shellfish and marine life images would not be possible if it were not for the generosity of commercial and recreational fishermen in Guernsey, and seafood suppliers at various trade shows in the USA, and wholesalers at Fulton Fish Market in New York City.

Many marine biologists have helped identify or confirm the identity of marine species photographed. These people have been mentioned when possible.
