These organisms are members of the phylum Bryozoa, a name that translates in Greek to "moss animals." Bryozoa are notable in the animal kingdom because of just how colonial the phyla is. The individual Byrozoa, called a zooid, navigates the waters as a larva, eventually attaching itself to some kind of solid surface. And from there, it will begin to divide, budding off but keeping its descendants close and connected as they increase in number. Now the arrangement of these zooids dictates the shape of their colony, as does the material they secrete to support the colony overall. some excrete a gelatinous material, others rely on chitinous materials that give them more rigidty.
