Aplidium claviforme [Aplidium claviforme]
Description
This species is frequently noticed as club- or finger-shaped colony growths attached to hard substrates. Divers scanning vertical walls and crevices may see it as a cluster of small projections that create a bumpy, three-dimensional look. With good visibility, the colony’s structure becomes clear, showing how each unit contributes to the overall form.
