Anguinella palmata
van Beneden, 1845
Sarah Bowen Can anyone help with this? Found on the Blackwater in Essex, in a silty, muddy environment at about 6m and growing as tufts on top of Styela clava.Jon Moore Looks like Anguinella palmata, but a bit more branched than the specimens I have seen before, and looks as if there is something else growing on it.
Sarah Bowen Yes I know what you mean about something growing on it; but it was so even and consistent I then discounted that as an option. Hmmmm.....
Sarah Bowen Have now checked, thanks Jon, it certainly looks like it and has been recorded on the Blackwater. And the white blob is a bit of a didemnid; they were everywhere!
Marco Faasse It certainly looks like Anguinella palmata as I know it. Nothing unusual about the colony.
Liz Morris Looks like Anguinella palmata to me too. Very distinctive!
