A colorful mosaic of filter feeders encrust a reef wall in the Poor Knights. These organisms filter nutrients from the water through canals lined with cilia. Bryozoans are more complex, possessing a digestive system, a nervous system and a brain.

These filter feeders are a main food source for grazing nudibranchs, starfish, and sea urchins.
