Topic: Aequorea victoria, hydrozoan jellyfish

We have recently recieved a record of Aequorea victoria from the island of Vatersay (VC 100) from a visiting naturalist. The identification has been confirmed by the Marine Conservation Society.
Appareantly there are other UK records from Cornwall, so am I correct in thinking that this has recently been added to UKSI or will be added in due course?

Many Thanks

Christine

Thanks Christine - I've marked it as a non-native as the core population is so far away :)
