Coryne hincksi [Coryne hincksi]
Description
Divers may spot Coryne hincksi as a delicate, branching hydroid that forms small, tuft-like growths on rocks, shells, or other hard substrates. Under good light, its fine structure can look almost lace-like, and it often becomes more noticeable when currents gently sway it. With patience, you can see the colony’s subtle texture and the way it clings to the seafloor.
