Marrus [Marrus]

Description

Marrus is a genus of deep-sea pelagic siphonophores known for their intricate and beautiful colony formations. Each Marrus colony is made up of multiple zooids that are highly specialized for functions such as feeding, reproduction, and defense. These organisms possess elongated bodies with series of gas bladders for buoyancy and tentacles for capturing prey. Marrus species are notable for their ability to navigate through the deep sea using coordinated movements of the colony.
