Scientists found a free-living coral species actively travels toward blue light resembling its natural habitat and moves like a jellyfish to migrate.

When it comes time to migrate, Queensland University of Technology research has found how a free-living coral ignores the ...

A new study released by scientists from Brisbane, Australia on January 22 shows how a 'free-living' jellyfish-like coral called the Cycloseris cyclolites propels itself along the seabed to navigate ...

A new study has found that the free-living mushroom coral responds to specific types of light by “walking” towards it, ...

The mushroom corals tended to move toward the blue light. Science explains that since blue light wavelengths penetrate deeper ...

New research has revealed that a free-living coral species, Cycloseris cyclolites, propels itself across the reef using ...

A free-living coral species defies traditional coral behavior by actively migrating toward light using a strategy reminiscent ...

But there’s another, lesser-known and understudied kind of coral that’s completely solitary. And some of these animals, known as mushroom corals, can walk. “They’re very little,” said Brett Lewis, a ...

Providing new insights into coral mobility mechanisms, the findings show just how closely related these corals are to jellyfish mechanisms which have been previously researched as a key point in the ...

A team led by cnidariologist Brett Lewis, from the University of Queensland, used time-lapse videos to watch the corals scoot across their tanks using a strategy similar to jellyfish, coral's ...

the findings show just how closely related these corals are to jellyfish mechanisms which have been previously researched as a key point in the evolution of the centralised nervous system humans ...
