Depth: Shallow subtidal
Conspicuous on jetty pylons and rock walls, this bright orange bryozoan colony consists of thick, and usually relatively flat, lobes. Its feeding tentacles give it a fuzzy appearance. This animal could be mistaken for sponges, but anyone familiar with bryozoans should be able to tell the difference immediately on closer inspection.
