Mistswarmers

The mistswarmer genus branched from their ancestors the cloudswarmers. Their main distinction from their ancestors is their migration and adaptation to the marine environments of the world. They are most diverse in species around the western continents of Darwin and Drake, but ocean currents have brought populations north. They feed mainly by filter-feeding, skimming the surface of the water, however certain species have evolved to take advantage of the low tide, preferring to clean the exposed algae off the rocks. During the night, swarms of millions of these creatures can be seen clinging to sea cliffs. Some have even adapted to living solely out in the open ocean, spreading to most corners of the world.
