Edwardsia novazelanica [Edwardsia novazelanica]
Description
Divers may encounter Edwardsia novazelanica as a small, anchored organism on rocky ground, often blending in until its tentacles become visible. When it’s actively feeding, the tentacles can look like a delicate fringe, catching particles from passing water. It’s a charming reminder that even “quiet” corners of the seabed can be teeming with life.
