Comments: We classify Watersipora subtorquata as native in the Caribbean-Atlantic based on Mackie et al. (2006) and<br />

NIS in the NEA and Pacific while Mead et al. (2011) classifies it as introduced in South Africa. However, its taxonomy<br />

is confused and it is possible that it may consist of more than one native or introduced species in many areas.<br />
