Eudendrium cochleatum [Eudendrium cochleatum]
Description
Divers often spot this species as a delicate, branching hydroid that forms small tufts or fans on hard substrates like rocks and reef edges. Look for slender stems with tiny cups or knobs along the branches—its “busy” look comes from many closely packed polyps.
