Coryne muscoides [Coryne muscoides]
Description
Coryne muscoides is often seen as a moss-like hydroid, forming soft-looking patches or low, branching clumps on the seafloor. Divers may find it on rocks or among algae where it benefits from steady water flow. Its fine, feathery appearance can make it look like underwater “moss,” and it’s a great example of how hydroids can create intricate habitat on hard substrates.
