He's back! We spotted another Erenna Siphonophore, the star of our now famous clip here: • Stunning Siphonophore | Nautilus Live Siphonophores start with one body, then grow by asexually producing many more small bodies that all remain attached.

The complexity of how these bodies are specialized and organized in the colony far exceeds that of any other colonial animal.
