Using longitudinal live microCT, we tracked the same coral colonies over weeks to months at micrometer resolution.

Abstract In sessile animals, body surface-associated water currents are essential for integrating feeding, cleaning, and boosting metabolic exchange across colonies or communities of solitary individuals. The evolutionary origins of surface currents and their distribution among cnidarians remain poorly understood. Here, we investigated directional surface currents by tracking moving fluorescent beads on live specimens.
