Edwardsia norvegica [Edwardsia norvegica]
Description
Edwardsia norvegica can be seen on hard substrates in cooler waters, where it holds position and extends its tentacles to feed. Divers might notice a neat, anemone-like form with tentacles that gently open and close or sway with the current. It’s a subtle but fascinating sight for divers who like to hunt for small, sessile invertebrates.
