4.7mm specimen found in a sample of Coral Weed, Corallina officinalis, with trapped sediment, the sample was collected from a small shallow pool, 25-50mm deep, under Fucus serratus, near the low tide mark at Chimney Rocks, Penzance, Cornwall. 06.03.15.

Determining species from images, even if one knows the hydroid they've come from is likely to be very difficult. Here there was no associated hydroid found in the sample.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
