A stylized scientific illustration of the colonial octocoral Virgularia gustaviana (sea pen), depicting a feather-like colony with a central axial rachis and lateral pinnules bearing numerous feeding polyps (zooids). At the biological hierarchy, individual polyps reside within a larger cnidarian colony. Invertebrate zoology and marine biology describe its function as a benthic suspension feeder that captures plankton with nematocyst-armed tentacles. The organism, an anthozoan within the order Pennatulacea, is shown with a basal peduncle for anchorage in marine substrates, representing a sessile invertebrate of the seafloor community.
