Coryne pintneri [Coryne pintneri]
Description
Coryne pintneri is a branching hydroid that divers may encounter as a delicate colony attached to hard bottoms, often in areas with good water circulation. Its fine, twiggy look can resemble small underwater brush or lace, especially when viewed against darker rock. Take a slow look during a drift or while hovering—this hydroid is easy to overlook until you notice its intricate, living structure.
