Abstract

Two botryllid species, Botryllus schlosseri and Botrylloides leachii are listed in a recent literature review on the ascidian species inventory from the Red Sea (Shenkar, Mar Biodiv 42:459–469, 2012). However, a detailed literature search does not reveal any scientific documentation for the existence of these species in the Red Sea.
