Seacrystal

The seacrystal replaced its ancestor, the ur-corkscrew crystal and spread across all the tropical and temperate coastlines of Glicker. It now grows many more crystals from one root. The arch of each crystal are unique. Each crystal is made of hard photosythetic chitin which has tiny holes in them. These holes let in water and organic matter. Inside the red fungi-like interior consumes the organic matter. This same fungi-like material also makes up the "roots" of the flora and it can absorb needed nutrients and minerals from the soil. Like its ancestor, it has a mild poison that deters herbivores from eating them. The same holes that let in food also let out tiny spores which float into the water and grow into new seacrystals.
