Hyalospinifera spinosa [Hyalospinifera spinosa]

Description

Divers are unlikely to encounter this species directly, as it’s associated with deeper marine habitats. When seen in deep-water surveys, it’s typically recognized by its delicate, spiny form and glassy appearance, giving it a fragile, almost sculptural look against the seafloor.
