Obelia spinulosa [Obelia spinulosa]
Description
Obelia spinulosa can look like a compact tangle of fine branches, sometimes with a slightly spiny or bristly feel to the colony’s outline. Divers often notice it tucked into crevices or attached to hard substrates, where it benefits from currents that deliver food.
