Regional Impacts
| Ecological Impact | Habitat Change | |
| Tricellaria inopinata provided habitat for at least 19 native and introduced species in Puerto América, Cádiz, Spain. The introduced species Caprella scaura, Monocorophium sextonae (Amphipoda) and Paracerceis sculpta (Isopoda). However, its effects may not differ from other temperate bryozoans, such as Bugula neritina (Gavira-O’Neill et al. 2019) | ||
