Scientists have developed a novel tool designed to protect and conserve coral reefs by providing them with an abundance of feeding opportunities.

Consider barnacles that attach themselves to whales. The whales aren't harmed, but the filter-feeding hitchhikers get ferried around the ocean and may find more food than if they were stuck in one ...
