| Polyp of a strawberry anemone (club-tipped anemone, more correctly a corallimorph). Polyp Photo. Image ID: 01039 Species: Strawberry anemone, Corynactis californica Location: San Miguel Island, California, USA | Red gorgonian polyps. The red gorgonian is a colonial organism composed of thousands of tiny polyps. Each polyp secretes calcium which accumulates to form the structure of the colony. The fan-shaped gorgonian is oriented perpendicular to prevailing ocean currents to better enable to filter-feeding polyps to capture passing plankton and detritus passing by. Polyp Picture. Image ID: 03480 Species: Red gorgonian, Lophogorgia chilensis Location: San Clemente Island, California, USA | California golden gorgonian and small juvenile sheephead fishes on rocky reef, below kelp forest, underwater. The golden gorgonian is a filter-feeding temperate colonial species that lives on the rocky bottom at depths between 50 to 200 feet deep. Each individual polyp is a distinct animal, together they secrete calcium that forms the structure of the colony. Gorgonians are oriented at right angles to prevailing water currents to capture plankton drifting by. Stock Photography of Polyp.
