Edwardsia clavata [Edwardsia clavata]

Description

Divers may recognize Edwardsia clavata by its low, anchored look on the seafloor, often with a visible opening where it lives. With gentle changes in flow, its tentacles can become more apparent as it feeds, giving the impression of a small, living “filter” on the bottom.
