The descriptive text, below the map, is from the Cornish Red Data Book (2009). The map on this web page depicts the organisms distribution and shows the records made pre-2000 and those made since.

Celleporina decipiens



Range & Status

Found typically on the stems or branches of the bryozoan Cellaria spp., in depths of 18-52m. Only recently distinguished from Celleporina hassallii , its distribution is imperfectly known. Characteristically, it seems to be a species of the south and west, having been recorded from around the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly, Pembrokeshire and Lundy, as well as South Uist.
