Good morning readers, sorry for the lack of blogs but I have more or less run out of fish and creatures from our Statia 2017 Expedition and have been working on a bunch of coral reef photos from the reefs of St. Eustatius that I will begin posting.

Over the years I’ve written a few posts about how the cold and often stormy seas of my native land can be every bit as rich as far flung exotic locations. In my opinion, the cold UK seas host countless species of animals that rival the beauty of their tropical relatives. Of all the [...]
An entirely novel relationship has just been discovered between a soft coral and one of the world’s most obscure invertebrates, the humble Goblet Worm. These little-known creatures belong to their own phylum—Entoprocta—of which there are only around two-hundred known species, with many others [...]
