This 1.5mm long specimen was found in sample of sea squirts, tunicates, taken from pontoons at Newlyn Marina, Newlyn, Cornwall. 29.06.16.

The specimen, which appears to be a female, was found loose in a specimen container, it likely exited a tunicate. Ciona intestinalis and Ascidella aspersa were the most common tunicates but others including colonial and non-native species were also present.

The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help

people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
