Aplidium bilingula [Aplidium bilingula]
Description
Aplidium bilingula is usually encountered as an encrusting colony, with zooids packed tightly together on a stable substrate. Divers may see it as a textured, low-profile growth that can blend with the surrounding rock until light and close inspection reveal its openings. It’s a rewarding find for macro-focused divers who enjoy spotting the small, slow-moving life on the seafloor.
