Invasion Description

1st Record: Coronado Cays Marina, San Diego/CA/San Diego Bay (2000, Cohen et al. 2002, B. flabellata); Crosby St. Pier, San Diego/CA/San Diego Bay (2000, Cohen et al. 2002, B. flabellata); San Diego/CA/San Diego Bay (2000, Ruiz et al., unpublished data).

Ruiz et al.'s material, taken from some of the same San Deigo Bay locations sampled by Cohen et al. (2002), within 1-2 months, has been identified as B. fulva (Linda McCann, personal communication 2011). Robertson (1905) reported 'Bugula flabellata')in small quantities on piles'. This may have been B. fulva, but further examination of historical samples are needed,
