Aeginona brunnea [Aeginona brunnea]
Description
Divers may spot this brownish hydrozoan as a delicate, gelatinous presence drifting in the water column. It often appears as a small, translucent form that can be easy to miss unless you’re watching the flow of currents. With patience, you may see it gently pulsing or shifting as it moves with the tide.
