Topic: New Marine Mollusc to Add

Chris,

Could the Marine Mollusc Fragile Piddock Martesia fragilis Verrill and Bush, 1890 please be added to the UKSI and Recorder family ??

This species was found by Tracey Williams and had been washed ashore in a coconut shell on a beach near Newquay, Cornwall in 2015.  It was identified by Anna Holmes of the National Museum of Wales.
