A lot of these octocorals and even hexacorals have polyps

00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:12.480
which are actually part of the organism.

00:00:12.490 --> 00:00:17.560
They are colonial, uh they are not individuals, they actually collaborate and they share resources

00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:22.610
like food particles that one part of the colony captures say up on the branches

00:00:22.610 --> 00:00:26.480
to down near the base through common tissue.

00:00:33.180 --> 00:00:37.140
It’s all about working together, working
together to survive and thrive.
