Reef Shrubs

Ilex anthozoa (rotumana)

Reef shrubs are similar to Coral Shrubs, but they are almost double in size. These shrubs are incredibly hard to find, because they can easily blend in with coral. They cannot move very much, and when they do move it’s very slowly. They are so slow that wildlife can choose to live on the Reef Shrub, not even noticing it’s moving. This shrub have many mutualistic relationships with its inhabitants: the Shrub provides the home, and the inhabitants protect it from toxic (as in extremely mean) creatures.
