Table Bay, Sea Point on Epymenia fronds (Griffiths and Monniot coll.). Description The colonies were thin encrustations on sea-weed fronds. The common tunic is transparent, often bluish with yellow circulatory ampullae of the tunic's blood system. The ampullae do not form a ring around the edge of the colony as is often the case in the genus. The zooids are spherical and regularly Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
