These creatures evolved over millenia to create nature’s finest circular economy, but are now struggling to survive
There’s no preparing for a first encounter with a thriving coral reef: your attention ricochets between dramas of colour, form and movement. A blaze of fire coral, darting clown fish, crimson sponge, electric blue ray … a turtle! Your heart soars, your head spins. Nowhere else will you encounter such density and diversity of life.
Corals are the architects of all this splendour. Their immobile forms suggest plants, but they’re animals – solar-powered ones. Each is a colony of thousands, sometimes millions, of tiny coral polyps, each resembling a slimmed-down sea anemone, just millimetres tall.
Between 24 March and 2 April, we will be profiling a shortlist of 10 of the invertebrates chosen by readers and selected by our wildlife writers from more than 2,500 nominations. The voting for our 2025 invertebrate of the year will run from midday on Wednesday 2 April until midday on Friday 4 April, and the winner will be announced on Monday 7 April.

I may be in the wrong subreddit if so any guidance will be appreciated. I have recently had some top soil brought in and property leveled to eventually be a yard. Sees and straw have been put down but not started growing enough yet to hold the soil. My property is on a hill and heavy rains have previously washed out the area where top soil is new. Can I put down fall limbs and logs to slow this with some upcoming very heavy rains predicted. This would be temporary.

Anyone use willow as a tree hay/fodder system for their livestock? For meat rabbits, would I be able to rely on willow as my 1 source of hay/fodder (besides kitchen scraps and yard clippings)?
Right now I purchase orchard grass for their hay and soak/sprout chicken scratch for their main calories (besides scraps/clippings). Would only willow be enough to get me off the feed store?
