Your Species , Your Story
A Challenge...
Can you identify this coral? This video was taken on our last day (Friday). You can see how identification can take a bit of practice in the species habitat.
Many of you are still working on identifying a coral reef species for your story. Remember that your story needs to represent a conflict in the coral reef ecosystem in the marine (neritic) biome. In addition to the previous sites you have been able to access on this blog I have another one for you. Try this one from EXPERT VILLAGE
When you are looking for story ideas go to MICRODOCS .. they have great videos and some really good ideas. One in particular is ... It Really Sucks Being a Tuna
Do you know what this is? It looks a bit like an octopus, but the wrong number of ___?___ .
This was found when we were exploring the tide pools in the dark very late at night. (that's a You Tube..may not work at school.)

The coral looks like Brain coral. The second picture has the wrong number of tentacles. I think it look like a Brittle star.

The video of the coral where we had to identify it is called the groved brain coral. I could tell because of the swirls in the coral.
