Aglaophenia bilobidentata [Aglaophenia bilobidentata]
Description
This hydrozoan forms branching colonies with distinctive, closely spaced features along the stems that can give the colony a textured look. Divers may find it attached to rocks, shells, or man-made structures, particularly where water flow delivers food. When you pause and watch, the colony’s fine structure and subtle movement in the current can make it a rewarding small find.
