Overlooked miniature marine polyp gorges on plankton
Jared sez, "HD video of a single Corynactis viridis corallimorph polyp (about 8mm in diameter) seen capturing and digesting tiny plankton as they flow past in the current. Directed by Morphologic Studios, a scientific art endeavor based out of Miami, Florida. Morphologic Studios will be releasing a HD video-a-week this year highlighting overlooked, miniature marine life."
