I was looking forward to some rocky shores though to collect some cnidarians. I'm in need of DNA quality samples of Sphenopus marsupialis if anyone out that way finds any. They were collected in Massachusetts Bay on seagrass fronds as well as sandy or muddy substrata. They are large, solitary, grayish, free-living polyps.
