Dear Coral-List(en)ers,
during terracotta settlement plate experiments in the Red Sea, my
colleague Jessica Bouwmeester and I discovered a settling organism we
couldn't identify. We found it on tiles that were exposed for 2 and 4
months.
We were discussing coral recruits and benthic forams, but neither the
typical corallite of corals or the chambers of forams are visible. It
also didn't resemble bryozoans, but maybe we can find some help on this
list. We have more pictures available when needed. Many thanks in advance..
