Tetraplatia chuni [Tetraplatia chuni]
Description
Tetraplatia chuni is a flat, bottom-dwelling marine animal that divers may encounter resting on or near the seafloor. Its flattened body and cryptic look help it blend into the substrate, so sightings are often brief—watching closely for movement or slight changes in texture can pay off.
