In the Pacific Ocean and parts of the Red Sea, bubble coral can be found in varying species, colors and forms. They maintain their egg-like appearance during the sunlit hours (maybe an egg-like disguise?), then deflate at dark, manifesting finger-tentacles that feed on plankton, etc.

That is so beautiful. And that Red Jellyfish from earlier is pretty cool, too.

Maybe this species was the first to develop the ability to make itself appear larger to frighten predators. What would eat coral? I don't want to know.
