Cryoflows

The cryoflows genus group replaced its ancestor the cryoflow. In addition its relatives the the carboneaters and cryosaganias were finally pushed to extinction due to the competition of other more successful genus groups such as the kyanoses and chemebas.

Like their ancestor they are a long string of cells which have cyan chloroplasts so it can perform photosynthesis. However some deep water species have lost these cells. At the front of their bodies is an oral grove which can consume other cells. Once consumes the nutrients are shared amongst the chain of cells. Their many flagellum not only helm them move but also help detect prey.

They reproduce by having part of their chain fall off when it grows too long. Once split the new chair will grow a new mouth to oral grove with. They can survive in both deep and shallow water, both freshwater and saltwater and can live in both glacial streams and volcanic pools. They are an important part of the ecosystem in order to keep the microbes in check.
