Aglaophenia dannevigi [Aglaophenia dannevigi]
Description
Dannevigi’s hydroid forms a delicate, branching colony that can look like a miniature underwater plume attached to the seafloor or hard substrate. With steady water flow, the polyps help the colony feed, and divers may observe a subtle change in texture as the colony responds to the current.
