Bryozoa

#1 Post by ImperatorRex » Fri Apr 06, 2018 7:24 pm

Like to share an older photo I have taken from a pond. It is a Bryozoa individual with its ciliated feeding organ (lophophore).

This is for me a quite elegant organism you encountered and imaged. Great observation, thank you for this post. Charlie Guevara...I last encountered a bryozoan years ago...if you can believe the older books...these organism can grown into dense and heavy matts of bryozoans.

Thank you Charlie & Sunshine.

The photo is also some years old and I never had the luck to spot again. Somehow they are aliens with their tentacles :-) very fascinating of coarse.

In german language the trivialname is "Moostierchen" = moss animal. Guess because these organism can form such large colonies, looking then like moss matts?

Great catch and image! Like that you caught the Statoblasts as well.
