Canda pecten (Thornely, 1907. Tilbrook, 2006) |
Description: fans to 4 cm. Fine reddish-tan lattice. Biology: on well encrusted surfaces, primarily in caves or under overhangs. Many similar species. Source: Collins p279; [vine 1986] p179 . Remarks: I found this species in Dahab - gulf of Aquaba - in divesite Caves in the back right of the rightmost cave. During this dive I explored the floor and lower walls of the cave, but not the ceiling. I did a similar search in the left cave, but did not find this species there. I also did not find it during 13 other one hour plus dives searching for bryozoa around and south of Dahab. Marine biologist Christian Alter of the RSEC in Dahab was kind enough to provide me with the species identification. Please see more and larger photos here. |

Membranipora savartii (Audouin, 1926) |
Description: Forms mat-like encustrations spreading over the surface of the substrate which may consist of any hard surface,
often on molluscan shells M. savartii forms encrusting colonies that may be one or more layers thick. Zooid shape varies from elongate to rectangular or quadrangular. Individuals measure an average of 0.27 X 0.55 mm. A variable denticulated (toothed) shelf is formed under the proximal half of the frontal surface. Proximal teeth are variable in number or absent. Zooid walls are heavily calcified and have fine tubercles. No avicularia are present. Biology: M. savartii is highly cosmopolitan in warm water areas. In the western Atlantic, it ranges from the Carolinas to Brazil, including Florida, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Individual zooids measure an average of 0.27 X 0.55 mm. No ovicells are present in this species. Like other membraniporids, Membranipora savartii spawns small eggs which develop into planktonic cyphonautes larvae. M. savartii was typically collected in areas where salinity exceeded 30 ‰ (Winston 1995) M. savartii, like all bryozoans, is a suspension feeder. Each individual zooid in a colony has ciliated tentacles that are extended to filter phytoplankton less than 0.05 mm in size (about 1/1800 of an inch) from the water column. Bullivant (1967; 1968) showed that the average individual zooid in a colony can clear 8.8 ml of water per day. M. savartii was typically found on dead shells and rock substrata at all locations (Winston 1982) Source: [vine 1986] p178, [Smithsonian] |
