Hyalinoecia falklandica [Hyalinoecia falklandica]
Description
Divers may spot this delicate hydroid-like animal as a small, translucent growth clinging to hard substrate such as rocks, shells, or seaweed. It often looks like a faint, glassy patch or branching structure, blending into the background until the light catches it. With careful observation, you can see how it forms neat, tidy colonies rather than spreading as a single mass.
