| Ancestor: | Descendants: |
|---|---|
The calflash replaced its ancestor, the flash forests and has spread across all the tropical and temperate coastlines of Glicker. Like its ancestor it lives within the pores of the calcrystalium's photosythetic crystals. They have a symbiotic relationship where it can create flashes of light that scare away herbivores. In return it absorbs nutrients from the calcrystalium.
They have grown 10 times larger than their ancestor and around 1 millimeter tall. They now have many stalks that grow off the main stalk. Each stalk has a flashing spore. They still have two sexes but they no longer have sexual dimorphism. Every summer the males will release their sperm cells into the water and they will find their way to the flashing spores to fertilize them. Once fertilized the flashing cells will fall off each of the stems and eventually grow into new calflashes once they find a large calcrystal pore to live in.
