When it comes time to migrate, QUT research has found how a free-living coral ignores the classic advice and goes straight towards the light.

Cycloseris cyclolites is an adorably small free-living species of mushroom coral capable of migrating to different reef habitats, often driven by the search for optimal light conditions.

QUT researchers discovered that Cycloseris cyclolites, a free-living mushroom coral, uses jellyfish-like pulsed inflation to migrate toward optimal light conditions, particularly blue light. This ...
