Edwardsia danica [Edwardsia danica]
Description
Edwardsia danica is a small benthic feeder that lives on hard bottoms, where it can extend its tentacles to catch drifting particles. Divers sometimes find it in sheltered areas, and it can look surprisingly active for such a small animal as it responds to flow.
