Pectinatella magnifica |
The Pectinatella Magnifica is a member of the Bryozoa phylum. It is a colony of organisms that bind together; these colonies can sometimes be 2 meters in diameter. These organisms can be mostly in North America with some in Europe. [1] They are often found attached to objects, but can be found free floating as well. They form a translucent body with many star-like blooms along the outside. The density of the organism is similar to that of gelatine, and is easily breakable into smaller chunks. [2]
