Leptoecia abyssorum [Leptoecia abyssorum]
Description
This deep-sea species lives in the abyssal zone, so recreational divers generally won’t see it on typical dives. In the rare cases it’s observed by specialized teams, it’s noted for its slender, delicate body and its association with the quiet, low-light seafloor environment.
