Snotflora

The snotflora genus group replaced its ancestors the azulglobe and rhodixglobe. Similar to other hydroglobes, they are a spherical purple flora which produces a slimy outer coating. This helps capture organic particles in the water. They come in 3 main sub-groups; deep ocean, surface and toxic. The deep ocean have lost all the pigments and survive on the organic "snow" that falls down from the ocean surface. The surface type live within the sunlight zone and have an indigo-like coloration. They are the only ones who both photosynthesize and are detritivores. The toxic group have bright colors of mostly red, yellow and black to ward off herbivores. Some even go so far to stun small prey and absorb the organic material after it rots. Due to their limited diet they reproduce slower than most hydroglobes. They also live only in water because their slimy outer coating would dry out on land. However there are some freshwater species (mainly surface and toxic types). They also can live in both tropical and polar climates. Those in the polar climates have developed natural anti-freeze to prevents ice crystal forming.
