Ancestor:Descendants:

The chain kyanos split from its ancestor, the kyanos. It has spread across the surface of the Sagan 4's oceans and coastlines. Rather than a single cell it grows in chain of cells. They grow in large numbers where nutrients are brought up from the deep oceans or near river deltas. During most in the autumn when conditions are right and create large "blooms" which tint the water a cyan hue. While they cannot move on their own they are spread through the vast network of sea currents. They still reproduce via mitosis. They are extremely small and are only around 140 micrometers across.
