Cnidarian Lifeforms is another film by Ben Wiggins, creator of the Montipora Movie. We can’t give this Hi Def video savant enough praise for constructing some of the most beautifulest clips of fluorescent corals exhibiting their various behaviours in time lapse. Cnidarian Lifeforms was actually shot before the making of Montipora Movie but the editing and soundtrack was only recently laid down and uploaded for the benefit of the wider web. No mater what kind of stony corals you prefer, chances are that Ben has found and aquired them all, conditioned them into perfect health and then time lapsed their tentacle extension, feeding and subtle tissue changes in the most intimate and close up perspective imaginable. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, if you meet Mr. Wiggins be sure to buy him a beer, buy him a frag or whatever you can do to help this benevolent videographer keep on cranking out the High Def coral candy hits. All hail Ben Wiggins and feel free to thank him yourself in the comments below.

    I can't believe I am saying this but…..those look so alien and some of them looked squishy and icky. But I really like the cinematography, I mean what does he have as far as equipment that he's able to get that close and have good color rendering.

    Wow! What an amazing vid. The two acan polyps fighting over the same piece of food was sweet! I wonder if that was planned or not. Anyone know what the acan was eating?
