Alien species: The bryozoan Bugula simplex was transported on hulls of cargo ships and yachts from the Mediterranean Sea to the Belgian regions. Its actual origin however is unknown. The species is bushy in appearance and was first reported in Belgium in 2000 in the marina of Ostend. Almost all observations of this species are made in ports and marinas. [details] Diet: Small microorganisms, including diatoms and other unicellular algae. [details] Dimensions: up to 3 cm tall [details] Distribution: A recent immigrant from Southern Hemisphere: South Australia (Brock, 1985) and New Zealand (Gordon and Mawatari, 1992) [details] Distribution: south of Virginia; south side of Cape cod, and extending northward of the subprovince limits, including Cobscook Bay [details] Habitat: common associated with docks, harbours and piers; sessile, colonial on hard substratum epifauna in the marine environment [details] Predators: grazing organisms such as sea urchins and fish; also subject to competition and overgrowth from sponges, algae, and tunicates [details] Reproduction: sexual and asexual; bryozoan colonies consist of replicated series of zooids, each budded asexually from a predecessor.
