Walking coral: Complex phototactic mobility in the free-living coral Cycloseris cyclolites. by Brett M Lewis, David J Suggett, Peter J Prentis, Luke D Nothdurft

“…High-resolution time-laps captured the biomechanics of forward motion that appeared driven by three key factors: tissue inflation, which increased contact surface area for lift and friction; the ventral foot/pads, adjusting substrate interaction/friction; and the contraction and twisting of lateral peripheral tissues, which propelled the coral forward in a coordinated manner resembling the pulsed swimming motion of jellyfish. …”
