Edwardsia olguini [Edwardsia olguini]

Description

This species is often seen attached to firm bottoms where it forms a subtle, living silhouette against rock or sediment. Divers may observe its tentacles arranged in a way that creates a delicate, starry look when extended. Because it can be well-camouflaged, slow scanning of the seafloor often pays off.
