This Spiral Tufted Bryozoan was found in the salt marsh along the trail at Strawberry Hill. Spiral Tufted Bryozoan are identified by their bushy thick main branch and secondary branche that spiral around it. Spiral Tufted Bryozoans are found from the Bay of Fundy to Florida living epiphyically on eel grass and algae and on the surface of rocks from the low tide line to a depth of 90 feet. Spiral Tufted Bryozoans are generally yellow, tan or orange and can form colonies up to 3 inches tall and 1 inch wide. Spiral Tufted Bryozoan canvas prints are being sold online for nearly 100 dollars each.
