Bubbleweed Sea Finworm

The bubbleweed sea finworm replaced its ancestor the lunawing sea finworm. This is because the gilltails were more efferent at eating all the crystal flora thus all they were left with was the thorny bubbleweed to eat. It specialized in this flora so much it began to become camouflaged to mimic its coloring so predators would not see it while it was grazing.

It will prefer to eat the inferior leaves of the thorny bubbleweed and lay eggs under the upper ones. For this purpose, the back fins are longer and can move and curl its long extremities. It will stay upside down under the leaf and, with the back fins, hang and walk under the leaf, doing short steps and laying its eggs in clusters. When hatched, the offspring will be near to a secure place for hiding, doing short tours around the plant and going to surface to get air.

Like its ancestor its body very hydrodynamic. To swim fast, it will do fish-like movements and put its wings close to the body and joined over its back, moving them backward, and thus cutting the water like a blade. The wings are partially fused, improving the movement. When feeling threatened, they can swim really fast and go to surface, doing short glides over the water, opening the wings. The flight ability was lost, since their wings are thinker and heavier than before.

Its eyes have doubles rather than one eye on each segment, anther eye now appears on the opposite site, thus giving it 6 eyes on either side rather than 3. These 12 total eyes help it keep a look out for predators in every direction, thus increasing its chance of survival.
