Tip Luminance and Growth. Portion of the colony shown in Figs 10 and 11 and S4 Movie, showing a growing stolon tip. First frame is schematic of region of interest with the fed polyp denoted by the red circle. Thereafter, luminance of selected region is shown at 3 hr intervals from 87–129 hpf, at which point the growing tip fuses with another stolon eliminating the tip. Not that the extreme distal end of the glowing tip is more luminous than proximal regions of the same or surrounding stolons throughout.
