Cryptophialus gantsevichi [Cryptophialus gantsevichi]
Description
Divers searching rocky bottoms may find this species as a small colony attached to substrate, often in calm, sheltered microhabitats. Its appearance is usually understated—tiny, textured growth that becomes more noticeable when you look closely. With careful observation, it can add a fascinating “miniature reef” look to otherwise plain rock.
