Coryne fucicola [Coryne fucicola]
Description
Coryne fucicola commonly grows on seaweeds, so divers may see it as a delicate coating or branching growth on algal fronds. When you swim slowly and keep your eyes on the weed surfaces, the colony can stand out as tiny, living detail among the larger plants. It’s especially rewarding to observe because it highlights the close relationships between hydroids and their algal homes.
