Conchoderma indicum [Conchoderma indicum]
Description
Divers may encounter this species as a small, attached barnacle on hard substrates, sometimes in sheltered coastal areas. Its shell shape and texture can blend with the surrounding surface, but careful looking reveals the distinct barnacle form as it filters plankton from passing water.
