## Neocorallus telecolii

Latest Mutations: Breeding Time, Isolation behaviour, Chemoreceptors

This is a red, fan-shaped stony coral that reduces intraspecies competition by not growing within a meter of each other, using chemoreceptors to detect each other. They do, however, breed simultaneously during the full moon in late spring. It lives in the temperate ocean of the Southern Hemisphere.

External Features: Each polyp, a cylindrical organism, has a corallite in which it sits, joined to the calcium carbonate skeleton secreted by each of them. The polyps have tentacles with nematocysts and chemoreceptors. They are joined by a skin. The colony is a branching shape, is joined to rock by a holdfast and has red melanin pigmentation in the skin.
