Tubularia couthouyi [Tubularia couthouyi]
Description
Divers may find this hydroid as colonies of slender tubes attached to rocks, piers, or other firm surfaces. The colony can look understated until the polyps extend, at which point it becomes more textured and “busy,” with tiny feeding structures reaching into the current.
