Selenome

Native to only one (unspecified) planet in the galaxy, the Selenome is a marine colony creature akin to a predatory coral reef. A Selenome initially appears as an immense cluster of rocks on the ocean floor, but on closer inspection is revealed as an undifferentiated colony of tentacles covered in toothed suckers, which themselves consist of smaller organisms. These organisms cooperate for some strange reason to improve the overall odds of obtaining sustenance. The Selenome is self-regenerating and has no predators. Its only natural vulnerability is starvation.
