As I've mentioned before, trying to ID down to species level in Bryozoans is difficult so for now I am just going to associate them with their genera name, Hederella.
Some winding colonies on Strophodonta shells



The host shell for this colony is Megastrophia


Hederella is an eye catching epibont forming colonies that look to me like detail stitching in a quilt. When I find a shell with them growing on it I'm more likely to toss it into my collecting bag because of the interesting look.
Here are some closeups I took with my Zorb digital microscope.
