Lobonema smithii [Lobonema smithii]
Description
Lobonema smithii is a soft-bodied, bottom-associated species that divers are more likely to notice when they’re close to the substrate. It can present as a fine, delicate form—often blending with the surrounding environment—so careful observation pays off. With passing currents, it may look slightly more animated, helping divers distinguish it from the background.
