Coryne crassa [Coryne crassa]
Description
Divers may spot this hydroid as a small, often bushy or tufted colony clinging to rocks, shells, or other hard surfaces. In clear water, the delicate branching structure can look like a miniature underwater garden, with tiny polyps that can retract when disturbed. It’s a subtle but fascinating find—more about texture and form than flashy color.
