Species diversity plummeted, and certain creatures, such as tiny, colonial “moss animals,” came to dominate the seafloor.

Even though it has become dominant, previous research shows that this moss animal has also suffered, with a decline in lifespan over the course of the study.

These organisms, commonly called “moss animals,” often live in colonies, encrusting large rocks.

When they’re young, sheepshead fish will eat marine worms, bryozoan ‘moss animals’ and pretty much anything soft-bodied they can catch in the seagrasses.

True, but these beautiful, transparent moss animals have to get their living by catching creatures so small that you cannot see them.
