Eudendrium bentart [Eudendrium bentart]
Description
Eudendrium bentart typically presents as a branching hydroid colony that clings to hard bottoms, creating a subtle, natural ornament on the seafloor. Divers may notice it as slender stems with tiny feeding polyps that can look like minute beads along the branches. In moving water, the colony’s shape can shift slightly, making it stand out against the background.
