Justin Starflora

The justin starflora replaced its ancestor the creeping starflora in Justin Bay. It doubled in size and now has a very tall filter-feeding trunk. With this new trunk it can suck in water and absorb the microbes in the water. On the top is where it squirts out its spores for reproduction. Like its ancestor its "leaves" not only perform photosynthesis but are hard shells which protect it from herbivores. They can still move their 8 leaf-legs but they move very slowly. They will migrate to shallower waters during the day to get the most sunlight and then move back into deeper waters at night to filter-feed. Its guts have also become more advanced. Not only can it store digested food but can expel it out of the top. Like its ancestor each justin starflora contains parts of two sexes. On full moons they will travel to shallow waters and release their spores. As they all float in the water they mix thus fertilize each other.
