Information on Hopkinsia rosacea

January 30, 2002
From: Sarah Heinemann

Hello.
I am doing a research project on the Hopkinsia rosacea and wanted to know some more information. I've found a lot about what it looks like, but I need more on if it has any threats in it's habitat, and what adaptations it may need to survive in the future. I am also looking for some more information on its food, the Pink Encrusting Bryozoan, or Eurystomella Bilabiata. If anyone has any information, please write me what you know.

Thank You.
Sarah H.

Dear Sarah,
Have a look at the Forum's Fact Sheet on this species. There is a reference to a study on its life cycle which may be of interest. You may have to look at some books for information on the bryozoan but it is possible that there is nothing known about the biology of the bryozoan. One important lesson you will learn when researching marine life is how little we know about most species.
Good Luck with your research,
Bill Rudman.
