Aegina rosea [Aegina rosea]
Description
Aegina rosea is a charming medusa with a soft pink to rosy tint that can look almost like a small lantern drifting in the water. Divers may notice it suspended in the current, with delicate tentacles trailing behind as it moves slowly—an elegant reminder that even “simple” shapes can be beautifully complex.
