They are fan shaped when viewed with the naked eye. DistributionThe species can be found in as many as 62 lakes and rivers throughout the UK.[3] FeedingIt feeds on algae. It prefers cold climate, and is tolerant of eutrophication. Life and reproductionThe species life cycle is few months. They start dormanting in September, and reproduce by winter. They die by March. However, in spring fed pools they could live and reproduce forever. Their sexual reproduction is quite rare, and is poorly known. They grow by budding with different kinds of zooids.[4] ConservationIt is listed as a priority species under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan.[2] References1. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20150704190419/http://www.nhm.ac.uk/nature-online/species-of-the-day/biodiversity/economic-impact/lophopus-crystallinus/index.html Lophopus crystallinus (bellflower animal or crystal moss animal)] Species of the day – Natural History Museum (archived) 2. ^1 Lophopus crystallinus {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120106183945/http://www.arkive.org/freshwater-bryozoan/lophopus-crystallinus/ |date=2012-01-06 }} ARKive 3. ^{{cite book |year=1999 |title=UK Biodiversity Group Tranche 2 Action Plans |publisher=Peterborough |volume=4 |pages=437–439}} 4. ^Life cycle and Reproduction Bibliography
