Sea mat may be identified on a macro scale by its classic snowflake pattern.

Sea mat may be identified on a macro scale by its classic snowflake pattern.

Tidepool Tim says, “Bryozoans, or sea moss animals, are colonies of microscopic individuals. Each is surrounded by an exoskeleton made of chitin and calcium carbonate. We find these in middle and lower intertidal zones. They survive by eating detritus and plankton floating in sea water, captured using lophophore organs. Their ciliated tentacles can withdraw into the shell, and the animal can close its shell off with its opercula. Get this - some members of the colony are modified with bristled opercula. These ones clean and defend the colony! This assortment will also make for an awesome microscopy identification activity in the lab.”
