Morning all,
I have a troubling sighting report from Seattle. A PetCo employee has been finding zebra mussels attached and inside moss balls sold as aquarium plants (see photos below). I entered this record into NAS and have been in contact with the WA AIS community. The more significant danger is these moss balls being distributed across the U.S.
I wanted to bring this to your attention.
