These corals are not firmly anchored to the sea floor but are regularly turned by wave movements or fish, causing them to grow concentrically around a core. This core is usually a shell fragment that the coral larva has settled on.

A cylindrical, transparent vessel stands on an open, silver-coloured metal structure. It is filled with clear water, in the centre of which a slender, funnel-shaped vortex rotates from the surface to the bottom. The water surface is indented in the middle and slightly wavy at the edges. Small air bubbles are transported downwards by the vortex and draw fine lines along the vessel wall. LED light strips run around the vessel, highlighting the vortex in contrast to the dark surroundings. The scene looks like a scientific demonstration illustrating the dynamics of water currents.
