Invertebrate Zoology: A Laboratory Manual
Phylogenetic descriptions outline and review each phylum before it is studied, helping students understand the relationships and diversity among invertebrates. Simple geological time scales trace the history of phyla with significant fossil records. Etymon for each phylum name helps students understand the meanings of terms. A pronunciation guide is included to help students learn new terminology quickly. [eng]

Moss animal - Britannica.com
The bryozoans are a widely distributed, aquatic, invertebrate group of animals whose members form colonies composed of numerous units called zooids (hence the term Polyzoa, which means "many animals"). Until the mid-18th century, bryozoans, like corals, were regarded as plants; hence their name, which means "moss animals." Seventy-five years later, the bryozoans were distinguished from the cnidarians, and the characteristic structure of the zooid was first described. [eng]

Introduction to the Bryozoa
Despite the fact that there are about 5000 living species, with several times that number of fossil species, the Bryozoa remain largely unknown to most people. Bryozoans, or "moss animals," are aquatic organisms, living for the most part in colonies of interconnected individuals. A few to many millions of these individuals may form one colony. Some bryozoans encrust rocky surfaces, shells, or algae. Others, like the fossil bryozoans shown here, form lacy or fan-like colonies that in some regions may form an abundant component of limestones. Bryozoan colonies range from millimeters to meters in size, but the individuals that make up the colonies are rarely larger than a millimeter. Colonies may be mistaken for hydroids, corals, or even seaweeds. [eng]

Bryozoa
Many bryozoans are gathered in small tuffed colonies attached to objects in shallow seawater. All species are colonial with the individuals being extremly small. [eng]

Bryozoans
This organism is not from outer space, nor is it the result of mutations caused by radioactivity from nuclear power plants; Pectinatella magnifica is a member of the animal phylum Ectoprocta (common names: bryozoans, moss animals), a group with a fossil record extending back to the upper Cambrian (500,000,000 years ago!).
