Anchinothria pycnobranchiata [Anchinothria pycnobranchiata]
Description
Divers might recognize this species by its compact form and the way it holds close to the substrate. It’s often encountered in areas with plenty of structure—think rocky bottoms, ledges, and reef rubble—where it can quickly retreat when disturbed. Its behavior is typically calm and cautious, with brief glimpses as it feeds.
