Hidden Cycloporus Flatworm On Compound Ascidian

June 14, 2023 by Jade Craven

I was going through old photos of Botrylloides recently when I noticed that I had overlooked another critters at Apollo Bay Harbour.

There was a FLATWORM. And I didn’t see it.

The flatworm belongs to the Cycloporus genus. It could be one of two species, but it is difficult to tell without a closer view. To tell them apart I would need photos of:

tentacles
median line
type of pigmented spots.

Commonly found under rocks near compound ascidians.

I know who needs to go looking for ascidians soon!

Glenn Spore Print Experiments

April 29, 2023 by Jade Craven

Glenn really enjoyed one of my fungi spore print experiments recently, so decided to see what he could come up with. This included cutting some of them into shapes and putting both water and paint on the fungi.

The results were a bit average but I LOVE his out-of-the-box thinking. Imagine what we can do when we both know what we are doing 🙂
