Piloluminuseven

The piloluminuseven replaced its ancestor. Unlike its ancestor, the piloluminuseven anchors itself to the fine leaf hairs of the piloroot. The flagella twist themselves around the hairs to anchor itself. However, if the area becomes shaded, they will disconnect and swim to the next lighted hair. This causes an interesting visual effect of the leaves of the piloroot. When one blocks the light, the leaf slowly goes from a mottled purple-green color to being pure purple.
