SCUBA Divers Info:
Not a plant but a colony of animals that live in small protective 'houses' this is only one of many bryazoans to be found in B.C. It is however one of the most striking and delicate.
**B**Beachwalkers Info:
This animal does not usually inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling.
