Aplidium adamsi [Aplidium adamsi]
Description
Divers may encounter Aplidium adamsi as a small colonial tunicate that adheres to rocks or other hard structures. It often looks like a modest patch or crust, and in clear water it can be easier to spot by its textured surface and the way it breaks up the look of the substrate.
