@@kerim.peardon5551 Yea this is very much true but if it were more like the ocean in the air you'd kinda have to dial up the weird and craziness up to 11. We would not only have the usual gamete clouds everywhere but we would also have a whole bunch of tiny baby versions of all the animals and plants floating around in the sky duking it out in microscopic battles for survival. The tiny versions would also probably look much wierder and different than the full size but there still be a bunch of tiny squirrels, or insects, or birds, or snails all floaring around with the tiny plant versions as well. That and a good number of them would be glowing or be able to make light so it would put fireflies to shame!. It would at least make cleaning off that car and porch a bit more intensive or dramatic to say the least.

I grow corals and agree with you, but some corals do not use photosynthesis to get their nutrients. Many types of fan corals are like that along with the sun coral. I stay away from them as they are very difficult to keep alive because of their nutrient requirements. You have to feed them about 4 times a day or more. Putting that many nutrients in your tank can cause your tank to crash. They are not worth the trouble for me. SPS corals are difficult to grow because they are very unforgiving if your parameters are not perfect. The only corals that do not require feeding on a regular basis are softies

​ @davidvento5481 reseeding coral is a proven way to sustain species biodiversity. Yes, crown of thorns seastars are a big problem, but that's also being managed through human culling and protection of Triton's Horn snails - natural predator to COT seastars. If reseeding didn't happen, certain species of coral would out-compete other species of coral, leading to monoculture forests of coral. And monocultures don't support larger biodiversity. I did benthic diving research in tropical oceans. Coral biodiversity supports a larger diversity of fish, invertebrates, and mammals.

What really gets me is that modern corals that partner up with algae for photosynthesis only arose during the Triassic. So for the _entire_ Paleozoic, with its famous reefs, those corals couldn't obtain any energy directly from the sun. Entire reefs built out of corals that had to actually eat. Wild stuff.
@pauldeddens5349
@pauldeddens5349 7 месяцев назад
Not too far off with anemone, just imagine those but with more tentacles and longer mouths. A whole reef of those would be very dangerous, its probably why so many prehistoric fish had thick armor and shells. (Well, obviously not the main reason or only reason, but im sure a contributing factor, especially given the small size of many early sea creatures)

I've got thallasophobia and despite that I've actually been scuba diving. Something that surprised me is that the coral made me deeply uncomfortable.

Good to learn that I was actually completely correct, they are covered in tiny mouths, and they are also stingy like jellyfish.

​@@AnaTorres-os8wt Fortunately its relatively mild thallasophobia. I think its also gotten worse as I've gotten older too. The fact that it was with instructors and other people around definitely helped a lot. I'd probably do it again if the opportunity came up. But I'd never do it alone. A big part of what triggers the fear for me is that in the ocean you have so many more directions something can be approaching you from, and having other people around helps alleviate that because they can watch your back. Clear waters also helps a ton, as at least I can be sure nothing is approaching from in front of me.

Plants are even weirder if you really think about it. Trees are gigantic columns that suck water from the ground powered mainly by pressure gradient. They can also communicate with eachother though webs of symbiotic mushrooms. They can lure predators to protect themselves from parasites and herbivores. Plastids are a whole other level of symbiosis too.

This synchronicity is insane because I was JUST watching something this week about scuba divers in Australia at the reef and always knew coral were animals, but my 35 year old brain finally thought, "I wonder how they actually work" then didn't look it up. Now THE BEST way for me to learn, Ze Frank, comes out with it??? How does the universe work like this? Also learning they can welcome algae into symbiotic cells for their mutual benefit is AMAZING. It's like if we were able to put a leaf or something to our skin and we were able to absorb them onto our arm and just get nutrients from the sun.

Of all the things in the sea that are legitimately terrifying, you’re afraid of coral? Other cnidarians like starfish and urchins I can understand. But I guess under a microscope, those little polyps are pretty freaky. Like something out of pre 2000 horror film.

Now that would be a cool idea for a fantasy/alien race. Something that's an organically built but not alive exoskeleton that is covered in a thin layer of flesh that's just thousands of clones of tiny organisms. Perhaps it's got some individual polyps (like in a man o war) to act as individual organs like eyes or a brain. The digestive noodles can be like a fun tongue like feature. To differentiate it from normal super colonies that is a normal multicellular animal perhaps one of the features of the polyps because it's it's own organism perhaps they can be swapped around. Like imagine if your heart was giving you trouble so your friend was like 'let's swap hearts for a day, I got good kidneys and lungs so I can handle a weak heart' cuz when your organs are their own organisms, you don't need to worry about organ rejection as they have their own DNA.
