Hyalinoecia incubans [Hyalinoecia incubans]
Description
This species typically appears as a subtle, see-through colony attached to the seafloor or to marine surfaces like stones and kelp holdfasts. Under good visibility, divers can notice its fine, delicate form and the way it holds position in currents. It’s the kind of animal that rewards slow, close inspection—especially when you tilt your light across the colony.
