In 2016 the Pacific bryozoan Biflustra grandicella was found to be present in the Netherlands. Colonies grow only near the colling water discharge of a power station (De Blauwe 2017). It is still present in 2019. Further records from Europe are still unknown. It will probably only be able to settle where the water temperature is raised artificially. De Blauwe, H. 2017. Biflustra grandicella (Canu & Bassler, 1929) a thermophile bryozoan (Bryozoa, Cheilostomata) new to The Netherlands and Europe. De Strandvlo 37(1): 7-17 [in Dutch, with long English summary]
