Porolithon
Porolithon is a genus of red algae comprising 24 species.[1] The Porolithon are the primary reef building algae. When coral reefs reach sea level, the corals break under the high energy impact of the waves, while the coralline red algae, primarily Porolithon, continuing building and cementing the reef structure.[2]

gollark: The drones don't have the ability to attain useful data.
gollark: The *maths* is easy.
gollark: The limits on this are drone sensors, not maths.
gollark: It could try going up if it hits an obstruction, or you could just make it stay a large amount above the waypoints and factor this in when creating the path tables.
gollark: When you want to go from A to B, you whatever first search waypoint paths from A to B, then at each waypoint check the position of the next one and fly to it.
