Obelia tenuis [Obelia tenuis]
Description
Obelia tenuis often appears as slender, delicate colonies that cling to substrates in sheltered areas. Underwater, divers may notice thin, branching stems that resemble tiny sea-fans or brush-like growth. Because it can be quite small and translucent, it’s best seen when you hover and let your eyes adjust to the fine textures.
