Coral scientists have discovered a unique way for free-living corals, like Cycloseris cyclolites, to move and navigate in search of better living conditions. Led by Dr. Brett Lewis from Queensland University of Technology, the research team used high-resolution time-lapse imaging to study how this small coral species uses pulsed inflation to propel itself forward. The … Read more
