Siphonophores are big colonies of individual creatures (nectophores) that stick together and share the work of living I the deep sea. Some nectophores swim, some catch food, some digest it, and some do the steering. They are the perfect example of teamwork!
There are over 175 kinds of Siphonophores known to humans. The most famous is the Portuguese Man-O’-War, and the most recently discovered kind is called the Spaghetti Monster.
