The specimen above was found in a sample of fouling from Port Pendennis Marina, Falmouth, Cornwall, 30.06.15.

The question mark against the specimen here is because it is only very likely Eunereis longissima. It is less likely to be Eunereis elittoralis a closely related species with which it could be confused.

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.
