Hanleyella henrici [Hanleyella henrici]
Description
Hanleyella henrici is a cryptic, rock-dwelling mollusk that tends to blend into the textures of reef and shoreline stones. When divers get close, they may notice its segmented, shell-like look and the way it remains firmly attached. It’s most often seen when you slow down and scan crevices and algae-coated surfaces.
