This is the first image taken of this species at
Race Rocks




This image appeared originally on Ryan's Flickr site in the picture of a shrimp at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ryanjmurphy/6351563627/in/photostream/
I was struck by the appearance of the background of the image, although the shrimp was certainly attractive. The name "Phoronid" came to mind , and we identified it as Phoronis vancouverensis however, I have since been informed by the experts that this is not the case.   So it remains an unknown species, possibly a Bryozoan. We would appreciate hearing from anyone who may recognize the species.
