🌊 Phylum Friday: Bryozoa! 🌊

These small colonial organisms are usually found encrusting rocks or blending in with algae. However, many of the species found in New England are invasive, and have become a concern for intertidal and subtidal ecosystems as they encrust and out-compete native species.

yes, that is Triticella. That genus/clade is sometimes exclusively on crustaceans, often even their mouth parts. It has been shown that Triticella can synchronize its sexual reproduction to its crustacean host.

Today's cool museum collection discovery: Bryozoans growing on crustaceans!

I believe this ctenostome belongs to the genus Triticella, which is known to grow on specific groups of marine invertebrates 🦐
