Anchinothria fissurata [Anchinothria fissurata]
Description
As its name suggests, this species is often associated with cracks and fissures in the seafloor. Underwater, divers may see it peeking from narrow gaps, using the tight spaces for protection. With patience, you can sometimes watch it reposition slightly, revealing more of its body before it retreats again.
