Hyalinoecia leucacra [Hyalinoecia leucacra]
Description
Divers may encounter this hydroid-like species as a pale, translucent colony that stands out only when illuminated from the side. It tends to grow attached to stable underwater surfaces, forming a neat, delicate pattern rather than a messy tangle. In clear water, a diver’s torch can reveal the colony’s fine structure and the subtle contrast between it and the surrounding substrate.
