More Critters From St Helens Boat Ramp

March 13, 2023 by Jade Craven

Botrylloides violaceus

These are the other photos I took on my first visit to St Helens with the Olympus TG 6.

I also didn’t realize that botryllus and botrylloides are two different genus until the above ascidian was identified. Marine life identification definitely surpasses all my other interests in terms of difficulty – and confusion!
