Andrew Cleave Luidia ciliaris - St Mary's, Scilly

David Kipling Asterina phylactica from Skomer this weekend - with the tip of a Seasearch pencil for scale!

Charlotte Bolton Very glad you posted this - just looking at a picture of the same from Scilly and not being able to remember the name - saved me looking it up ;-)

Ross Bullimore GRRRRRR........damn it!! i've never seen phylactica around Skomer. Very very jealous. Where abouts?

Ross Bullimore damn this poverty and work meaning we have no life and no time to come home :-(

Blaise Bullimore Echo - where did you find the little darlin'?

Ross Bullimore echo....echo....(yes im writing my paper.....honest)

David Kipling SW Skomer; Wick basin, at ~ 15m or so on a high tide. It'll be on the Surveyor form that Sarah will do.

Kate Lock Gorgeous tiny thing! we also had numerous baby Luidia ciliaris and baby Henricia octuala at the site......all very cute!!

Sarah Bowen Ross, I always think of you when I see these (no consolation, I know) after you went off piste at West Angle looking for them when we should have been sampling weeds.....!
