Some develop proteins on their membranes that link algaes of the same species together into a single mass. Nutrients and sugars pass though clusters via diffusion allowing for more stable development while the mass is still on the smaller side than if they were just individual cells. If they get too large, those not exposed to much light or water will simply leech nutrients from the rest of the colony.

Over the years the Braf Bigus not only develops a veritable main of feelers, but they also become significantly thicker for ensnaring passing pray. It's back tissue also hardens into a shell as it becomes thicker alongside the feelers.

The added bulk of the creature, however, slows it down significantly, causing it to lose what's left of it's tail and become a mostly stationary opportunistic predator, waiting for prey to pass overhead and snagging it with it's large front feelers.

However with the other creatures becoming quicker and more evasive, it's lack of movement may put the lineage at risk.

top kek,
Sorry as you already know, english isnt my mothertounge and i meant excrete and secretion.
But now reading your and my posts, my misspelling is hilarious.
species pouring stuff that tell others "this is not the food you seek" or "Trust in me, just in me
Shut your eyes and trust in me"

I'm pretty proud of this thread so far. No predator is "the best" at the moment and we have tons of plant development.

>>42473323
I say don't worry about it. Typos can lead to some great things in these. People joke about it, and then twist it into something that makes sense.
Example: Furlongs from Primordial. Someone accidentally said they seek "good" instead of "food". This lead to Kamen Rider jokes and furlongs being allies of justice. From that, we came up with a guardian caste for the species determined by body temperature variations messing up hormones during prenatal development in females.

Now to apply that to this.
>>42472450
The secretions of these sticky algae contain chemicals that smell like decay, making them unappetizing to anything that can smell.

Hey, cool dudes participating in this evo game, I've got an idea to maybe formalize the evo games, and I'm looking to discuss it with you guys. But since this evo thread's still got steam, when can we discuss this?
It's kinda like a more gamey evo game, with evo points to spend and such. Points get stored and generated each generation, and consumed when you change things on a creature. Sometimes evolutionary pressure would add or decrease these evo points as well as events.
So, tl;dr, should I make a new thread to discuss this? I don't want to derail this wonderful evo game.

>>42471186

The Cerr, facing stiff competition from competitive species of Sand Lurker, adopt a more mobile, predatory approach to hunting. With one of their mouth-mandibles becoming longer as the other recedes, this flexible species begins roaming the seafloor, targeting the immobile LurkBzol. >>42473515
Approaching their prey, they use their lower trio of flexible claws to bury themselves partly, before extending forward to hover over their prey in preparation to stab downwards. This does not always work, however, as this motion often causes the Cerr to become uprooted, either floating away helplessly, or even falling into the clutches of the LurkBzol itself.

I guess this is cyclical predation, since they eat each other?

>>42473991

Cells in Hex Algae colonies being to specialize. Cells far from the surface of the colonies begin to cease division, using up less of the energy produced by the outer layers. In fact, they've begun to store excess sugars for days when they can't photosynthesize as much. Unlike their spherical cousins, they still lack vascular tissues to aid in the transfer of energy and nutrients.

The two are probably going to be very similar later on, but will be structurally different.

Mulu Vampiris becomes further specialized as a jet-powered bloodsucker.

its speed far outmatches anything else in the sea which allows it to easily ambush and chase down prey.

its senses have heightened considerably to the point it can 'sense' even trace chemicals in the water, its ability to perceive differences in light/darkness have improved as well to allow it to navigate often unpredictable terrain/algae beds and pinpoint its target. these take the form of two sensory patches at the ends of their chemical sensors.

these mulu have largely abandoned filter feeding for blood/fluid drinking and drinking from already dead creatures. some even rush back multiple times to drink again and again until their prey is merely a husk.

Damn why's this thread always dead when i get here? Oh well anyway,

>>42478828
With all their potential prey becoming either larger ambush predators or very fast swimmers, the Bzad begin to fall short. Their dense, armored bodies and poor swimming legs make it difficult to effectively swarm their prey.

Because of this, some Bzad develop flatter, more streamline bodies to slither more effectively through the water. Distributing their mass a little better lets them float more easily, and flapping their rudimentary tail provides better propulsion, as does tucking in their large dense legs.


tl;dr the pudgy armored bodies without swimming legs didn't seem functional as a swarm predator. If anything i'd imagine they'd have a difficult time swimming outside of short bursts by quickly extending their legs, like sand shrimp. Hope this isn't too much at once.

Also it get's bumblebee stripes because not a lot of people are playing with colors much and i want to mix it up

I meant that they kinda lurk underneath some rocks or in the sand, then when a prey creature comes out or comes down to feed at the bottom they all scuttle out in big groups to tear it to pieces.

The Bottom Feeder Bazoo starts complementing it's diet with the algae it can catch with it's downwards mouth.

Their small(-ish) size throws makes them primary predator and pray to the bigger and meaner secondary predators like the Bzad swarms and some varieties of Cerr.This forces them to up their defences again, this time developing an erectil tissue on their backs covered by a sightly stronger skin. When attacked, this tissue quickly fills with their dense blood and pushes the attacker back, sometimes it even breaks mandibles, this erected tissue is kept as armor until danger ends, then its shedded and the Bazoo is vulnerable until it regrows.
