Coralkiiro

The Coralkiiro split from its ancestor and settled down in Nemo Polar Shallows. It has become sessile and spends much of its time filter-feeding and photosynthesizing. Because it is so similar to the twinkoral genus group, it had to change so it doesn't compete much with the genus group. Thus, they have become partial filter-feeders. The pores that dot their surface have become larger and more sparse. These pores don't reach into the blood-sap chamber, but rather are relatively shallow depressions filled with flagella-covered cells that are derived from its ancestor's 'blood cells'. These cells will swallow and digest microorganisms and convert them into nutrients. The same applies to bits of detritus that fall into the pores. Then, the nutrients are transferred from the consumer cells and into a simple network of transfer cells that are connected to the central blood-sap chamber. there, the nutrients are sent into the blood-sap chamber; waiting to be used. An error in the budding process has caused small, bud-like branches to develop on top. These branches contain their own blood-sap chamber that is connected to the main chamber via a thicker set of transfer cells. If these buds are knocked off, they can survive on their own and if they survive the initial bleeding and are not eaten, will become a new coralkiiro. However, this causes the parent coralkiiro to lose a lot of blood-sap through the exposed transfer cells. However, the transfer cells usually are quickly covered with standard photosynthesizing 'skin' cells, stopping the bleeding before the coralkiiro dies. In order to dispose of waste materials, the coralkiiro's transfer system will suck up the waste materials and expel them through the pores. The coralkiiro's skin has lost its permeability, thus the coralkiiro will also transfer water through its pores. They have developed small, rootlike structures that keep them from floating away. Even smaller buds will grow on the buds. These buds will naturally detach from the parent bud and become new coralkiiros.
