	Electra Posidoniae ''Electra posidoniae'' is a species of bryozoan in the family Electridae. It is endemic to the Mediterranean Sea, and is commonly known as the Neptune-grass bryozoan because it is exclusively found growing on seagrasses, usually on Neptune grass (''Posidonia oceanica''), but occasionally on eelgrass (''Zostera marina''). Description ''Electra posidoniae'' is a white bryozoan forming encrusting colonies of zooids on the leaves of seagrasses. The colonies consist of irregularly branching ribbons formed from a single layer of zooids, up to four zooids wide, neatly arranged in parallel rows along the length of the leaf blade. The colonies can reach in length; they are poorly calcified which makes the colony flexible and able to bend as the leaf moves in the water. This species could be confused with '' Electra pilosa'', which also grows in the Mediterranean, but that species tends to grow in star-shaped colonies that have a rough or bristly appearance.

picture info	Bryozoa Bryozoa (also known as the Polyzoa, Ectoprocta or commonly as moss animals) are a phylum of simple, aquatic invertebrate animals, nearly all living in sedentary colonies. Typically about long, they have a special feeding structure called a lophophore, a "crown" of tentacles used for filter feeding. Most marine bryozoans live in tropical waters, but a few are found in oceanic trenches and polar waters. The bryozoans are classified as the marine bryozoans (Stenolaemata), freshwater bryozoans (Phylactolaemata), and mostly-marine bryozoans (Gymnolaemata), a few members of which prefer brackish water. 5,869living species are known. At least two genera are solitary (''Aethozooides'' and ''Monobryozoon''); the rest are colonial. The terms Polyzoa and Bryozoa were introduced in 1830 and 1831, respectively. Soon after it was named, another group of animals was discovered whose filtering mechanism looked similar, so it was included in Bryozoa until 1869, when the two groups were no ...
