Images of this pelagic species were taken on the high tide mark at Long Rock, Penzance, Cornwall; 03.11.10. Strong south-westerly winds had washed ashore a large plastic lid that the animals were attached to. Two other species were also found attached to the same lid. Also found cast ashore at Sennen Cove, Cornwall, 18.09.11.

This is a tropical / sub-tropical species that comes to the UK shores on flotsam via the Gulf Stream. UK waters are too cold for these species to survive and breed. This species is regarded as a rare find in the UK.
