Membranipora membranacea is a very widely distributed species of marine bryozoan known from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, usually in temperate zone environments. This bryozoan is a colonial organism characterized by a thin, mat-like encrustation, white to gray in color. It may be known colloquially as the coffin box,[1]sea-mat or lacy crust bryozoan and is often abundantly found encrusting seaweeds, particularly kelps.[2]
