Surface flow for colonial integration in reef-building corals

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Reef-building corals are made up of a magnitude of individual polyps produced via fissiparity. The resilience of corals to coral bleaching, at least partly, relies on the integration of multiple polyps which warrants further studies of the colonial integration and the means connecting individual polyps. This vertical mass transfer of water above the coral surface results from the collective activity of multiple individual polyps and likely regulates the thickness/dynamics of the diffusive boundary layer. Despite covering the coral surface, in the majority of investigated species, the mucus layer was permitting the formation . . .
