Alga or animal?
I found what I thought was an alga growing at 0.5m depth. From the photo I realise it's an animal, though not sure which. Any ideas please? Thank you.

What is this?
Hi,
Could anyone tell me what this is? Found next to Botrylloides leachii, it looks like another colonial tunicate because I can see a tunic between the white parts. Any help is appreciated.

What is this?
Can anyone help me identify the bluish-purple species in the middle of the photo please? At first I thought it as an alga but seeing the photo now I think it's a colonial animal. Thank you.

Which Berthella?
Hi,
Does anyone know if this is Berthella aurantiaca? It was so small I could not see any features to distinguish it from Berthellina edwardsii. Thank you very much.

Tunicate?
Hi,
This 1cm animal was under a pebble in shallow water, ca .5m deep. Is it an ascidian? Any ideas please? Thank you.

Cet animal de 1cm de long se trouvait sous un caillou en eau peu profonde, à environ 5m de profondeur. C'est une ascidie ? Des idées, s'il vous plaît ? Je vous remercie.

Which ascidian?
Hi,
The water was not clear at all and this is the best photo I have. There were several of these tunicates under a pebble in shallow water near the shore.

L'eau n'était pas claire du tout et c'est la meilleure photo que j'ai. Il y avait plusieurs de ces tuniciers sous un caillou en eau peu profonde près du rivage.

Mollusc?
I found this on a gravel seabed at about 2m depth. It looked like a shell covered with algae. It was moving at the rate a mollusc does. The photos show the animal and its tracks in the sand. Is it possible to identify from these photos? Thank you very much.
Edit Fred A, traduction:
"J'ai trouvé ceci sur un fond de gravier à environ 2m de profondeur. On aurait dit une coquille recouverte d'algues. Il bougeait à la vitesse d'un mollusque. Les photos montrent l'animal et ses traces dans le sable. Est-il possible d'identifier à partir de ces photos ? Je vous remercie beaucoup."
