Video: Wild Oceans coral feeding

The Earth Touch Wild Oceans channel has just shared some footage of coral feeding filmed by Stewart Whitfield. With the sound of the ocean in the background, the alternating feeding behavior of these creatures is a mesmerizing behavior to watch.

This swaying creature might look like an underwater plant, but it’s actually a colony of soft coral polyps! We caught the tiny animals filter feeding for plankton in high-speed and it is utterly mesmerizing!
