Abstract
In marine sessile organisms (e.g. sponges and stony-corals), a distinction can be made in organisms that use filter-feeding, light or a combination of both, as a source of energy. In many of these organisms, growth takes place by the addition of layers of new material on top of the preceding growth stages that remain unchanged. The growth process of an organism that uses exclusively light and one that uses only filter-feeding for energy intake, are simulated using an iterative geometric construction in combination with, respectively, a light intensity function and a diffusion equation.
