Tomlinsonia asymetrica [Tomlinsonia asymetrica]

Description

Divers may encounter this species as a small, asymmetrical colonial growth that clings to hard bottoms. Its uneven shape and delicate texture make it stand out during macro-focused dives, especially when light catches the colony from an angle. It’s a great example of how much biodiversity hides in the smallest spaces underwater.
