Campanulariidae [Campanulariidae]

Description

Campanulariidae colonies are frequently seen as lace-like, branching networks with small cup-shaped polyps. Divers may notice them attached to rocks, algae, or man-made structures, where they can sway gently and “open” their feeding polyps when conditions are right.
