Hanleyella oldroydi [Hanleyella oldroydi]

Description

Divers may spot this small, inconspicuous mollusk clinging to rocky surfaces in cold, coastal waters. It’s the kind of species that rewards slow, careful looking—often blending in with the substrate and only revealing itself when you get close.
