Bryozoa - Bryozoans are tiny colonial animals that generally build stony skeletons of calcium carbonate, superficially similar to coral. They are also known as moss animals (which is the literal Greek translation) or sea mats.
Fouling community - Fouling communities are communities organisms found on the sides of docks, marinas, harbors, and boats throughout the world. These communities are characterized by the presence of a variety of sessile organisms including ascidians, bryozoans, mussels, tube building polychaetes, sea anemones, and more.
Cyclostomatida (family list) - Cyclostomatida or Cyclostomata, are an order of stenolaemate bryozoans consisting of 7+ suborders, 59+ families, 373+ genera, 666+ species.
Cyclostomatida - Cyclostomatida, or cyclostomes, are an ancient order of stenolaemate bryozoans which first appeared in the Lower Ordovician. It consists of 7+ suborders, 59+ families, 373+ genera, 666+ species.
Molluscoida - Molluscoida was the name formerly used to denote a division of the animal kingdom which contained Brachiopods, Bryozoans, and Tunicates, the members of the three groups having been supposed to resemble the Molluscs. As it is now known that these groups have no relation to molluscs, and very little to one another, the name Molluscoida has been abandoned.
