Dusky Hydroginella [Hydroginella fusca]
Description
The Dusky Hydroginella is known for its dusky, dark coloration which allows it to blend into deeper, darker oceanic environments. This species typically inhabits depths beyond the reach of sunlight, making it one of the lesser-known Hydroginella species. Despite its elusive nature, it is understood that the Dusky Hydroginella is a scavenger, feeding on the remains of dead marine animals.
