Rare fresh water bryozoan found

Bringing out a surreptitious discovery, college professors in Belgaum have found a rarest freshwater hydra which was dwelling on earth 600 million years ago. Bryozoan, a minor phyla of invertebrates, which was earlier recorded only three times, two in United States of America and one in Europe is now found in Belgam.

Head of the Zoology Department of Govindram Seksaria Science College Prof. S.V. Prabhu, who reported these colonial forms, was initially surprised to see a coelenterate fresh water colony in an aquarium in the Department. Because they come rarely across fresh water coelenterate.
