Electra posidoniae is a species of bryozoan in the family Electridae. It is endemic to the Mediterranean Sea,[1] and is commonly known as the Neptune-grass bryozoan because it is exclusively found growing on seagrasses, usually on Neptune grass (Posidonia oceanica), but occasionally on eelgrass (Zostera marina).[2]
