The 'juvenile' specimen above was found in debris from crab potting which was passed to the author at Newlyn Harbour, Newlyn, Cornwall, 26.07.18.

The debris was collected in about 30m of water off the Lizard, Cornwall and the specimen was discovered inside an old tube worm tube on the inside of a Dog Cockle valve.

Thanks to Dr. Andrew Mackie for confirming genus.

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.
