Lafoea [Lafoea]

Description

Lafoea is a genus of hydroids in the family Lafoeidae, characterized by its simple to complex branching colonies. These organisms form bush-like or tree-like structures with polyps that protrude from the branches, often without protective coverings. Lafoea species are versatile and can be found in a variety of marine environments, from shallow coastal waters to the abyssal zones. They are known for their ability to colonize substrates such as rocks, shells, and seaweeds, contributing to the habitat's structural diversity.
