Obelia diversa [Obelia diversa]
Description
Obelia diversa typically grows as a branching hydroid colony that can look like fine, lacey growth on substrates such as rocks, shells, or seaweed. Divers may see it as a network of slender stems with small polyps that can be more noticeable when the colony is actively feeding. Its subtle, intricate structure makes it a rewarding find for macro-focused dives.
