Aplidium bermudae [Aplidium bermudae]
Description
Aplidium bermudae is typically seen as an encrusting colony that clings to hard surfaces, forming a low, spreading layer. Divers might notice it as a fine, irregular texture—sometimes with small, distinct openings—rather than a single large animal. Because it grows in colonies, it can cover surprising areas and make the habitat look more alive and complex.
