Coryne gracilis [Coryne gracilis]
Description
Coryne gracilis tends to form slender, graceful colonies that can resemble fine branching threads or small tufts on hard substrates. Divers may notice it in areas with steady water flow, where the polyps can capture food drifting past. Although it’s not a showy species, its delicate structure and subtle movement with currents make it a satisfying close-up subject.
