| Phylum Bryozoa | ||||
|
Bryozoans are a colony of tiny animals, which
can grow up to 1 m across. There are well over 1000 species, most of
which occur attached to hard substrates, including wood pylons and the
bottom of boats! Colonies can be brightly coloured and be encrusting,
flat, plant-like or coral-like. The most common bryozoan found around
the Marine Discovery Centre is the Lace Bryozoan.
