Hodgson’s Tubularia [Tubularia hodgsoni]
Description
This hydroid forms colonies of slender, upright tubes that cling to surfaces like rocks, shells, or other hard growth. In current, the polyps become more noticeable as they extend, giving divers a fine, feathery texture in otherwise still-looking areas.
