Marine Carpoplaque

The marine carpoplaque has replaced its ancestor microplaque in the seas of Sagan 4. It has specialized the carpozoa kingdom since they have calcium teeth. It lives much like its ancestor by growing into large colonies covering the surface of the teeth and gums in a clear "biofilm". It eats not only the left over food materials in the mouth but will absorb the calcium of the teeth themselves. Thus creating thick calcium deposits on the surface of the teeth. This can lead to gum disease and tooth decay in its host.
