Campanularia hincksii [Campanularia hincksii]
Description
This hydroid is commonly encountered as a delicate, branching growth on stones, shells, or seaweed. Divers may notice the small, campanulate (bell-like) polyps that can extend and retract, making the colony look slightly “alive” as it responds to water movement.
