Hicksonella princeps [Hicksonella princeps]
Description
This species is a soft, branching filter-feeder that can form small colonies on rocky or hard substrates. Underwater, it may look like a fine, feathery growth, and divers often notice it best when the surrounding water movement makes the branches subtly flex.
