Concerning message #14448:

Dear Bill

On this picture is the same nudibranch Crimora papillata I sent the picture of some months ago, but the bryozoan is more detailed. I think it is possible to confirm Chartella papyracea.

Dear Stephane,

While preparing Jim Anderson's message [#21821] I found your message which has been languishing in the backlog for far too long. Sorry, but I sent it to a bryozoan expert for his opinion, but like most taxonomists he needs 48 hour days to answer all the calls on his time.

So still without an expert opinion here is your message. I am not an expert on bryozoans but it could well be Chartella papyracea, which is one of the bryozoans Crimora papillata is reported to feed on.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
