Edwardsia costata [Edwardsia costata]
Description
This species can be seen clinging to rocks and crevices, often blending in with the surrounding habitat. Divers may notice its distinctive, ribbed or ridged look, and—when conditions are right—its tentacles become more apparent as it captures food from the water column.
