(not Müller)


Craig Muirhead ...and this? Loch Leven, Scotland 04/08/13

George Brown Hi Craig, is that not a sponge? Loch Leven does churn up weird stuff though.

Craig Muirhead Thanks George. I'll post it on NE Porifera

Jade Berman Definitely a sponge I would say Polymastia mammillaris although the base is not too covered...

Bernard Picton Name change, Polymastia penicillus now, Jade!

Jade Berman True must keep my names upto date... See you soon Bernard
