João Pedro Silva No clue yet. Coult it be
Doto hydrallmaniae?
Sarah Bowen It's not on
Hydrallmania falcata, though, is it? It looks more like Aglaophenia with those bronze coloured stems, and is there the suspicion of a lateral line down the body? That might suggest
Doto koenneckeri (but confess have never seen that one myself!)
João Pedro Silva I don't know if it's A. pluma with all those ramifications of the main stem. Anyway, these were shot in vitro and there were many different hydroids on the tray... and many different Doto, usually only seen when they fell to the bottom of the tray. Here are some D. koenneckeri I photographed in February on A. pluma:

Sarah Bowen So what you're saying is it might have crawled off something else!!! And the second picture looks very different. Oh, I give up! I do love Dotos though...
João Pedro Silva Yes, I know for sure there was another one completely different which wasn't on that hydroid (yet I don't know on which one it was):

Ian Smith Hi Joao Your possible D. hydrallmania looks more like the D. koenneckeri I found in Wales than your D. koenneckeri pictures. Both look as if related to D. koenneckeri, but with differences from my images. Mine accord with Thompson & Brown Biol Opisth. Moll. 2 and with Bernard Picton's image.
Ian Smith sorry - I haven't got use to the facebook controls yet. I pressed return before putting a link to my images. Here it is http://www.conchsoc.org/spaccount/Doto-koenneckeri Cheers Ian Smith
Carissa Shipman working on these for my Masters. Gotta love the crypticness.
