Ancestor:Descendants:

The arctic seaflower split from its ancestor, the multitube and spread from the Russ River into the northern arctic belt of both the LadyM and Jujubee oceans. It has grown twice its ancestor's size. It now floats upside down with its leaves facing the sun and air while its spore tubes faces the water. That way when it reproduces and releases the spores they get washed into different direction into different underwater current. It also spreads to new areas just by floating there. They still have five reproduction tubes like their ancestors. They are often swept into coasts there they strive as well. They cannot survive in hotter waters and therefore never spread further south.
