Cycloseris cyclolites, a free-living coral, migrates via pulsed inflation and prefers blue light, enabling it to thrive in deeper waters. QUT research connects its mobility mechanisms to jellyfish and ...

However, new research has shown that one species of mushroom coral, Cycloseris cyclolites, actively moves toward blue light waves, using a mechanism similar to the pulsing motion of jellyfish.

But scientists have observed a free-living mushroom coral, Cycloseris cyclolites, actively “walking” toward blue light waves in a way that’s reminiscent of the pulsed swimming motion of ...

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 ...

Researchers have discovered that the coral species Cycloseris cyclolites can 'walk' across the ocean floor, migrating toward favorable conditions. This behavior, involving rhythmic pulsed ...

The study showed that the mushroom coral were smarter than previously thought The study looked at how mushroom coral, also called Cycloseris cyclolites, move and respond to light in their natural ...

A species of free-living coral, Cycloseris cyclolites, defies traditional coral behavior by actively migrating toward light using a movement strategy reminiscent of jellyfish. A new study from ...

But a few maverick corals have shunned this home-bound lifestyle. Among them, a tiny mushroom coral named Cycloseris cyclolites has found a way to propel itself across sandy sea floors to quite ...

“The ability of Cycloseris cyclolites to move towards specific light sources is a fascinating parallel to other marine species like jellyfish, which suggests they are more neurologically ...

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. Using ...
