The charyflora split from its ancestor, the charybdis. Its life cycle has become more simplified with an egg, larva, pupa and adult stages. The eggs, larva and pupa stages are nearly identical to its distant ancestor the metamorph fee, while the adult phase most closely resembles the charybdis' female secondary adult stage. They now use "parthenogenesis" to reproduce and thus are all female. In the adult phase it is mainly a detritivore, but also supplements its diet by having marine basilliphyta grow in special transparent nodules that grow on branches that protrude from its body. They can grow 2 to 6 branches and on each branch grow 8 to 12 nodules. The marine basilliphyta are given a protective place to grow and are given nutrients while in return the charyflora gets to absorb excess sugars the marine basilliphyta makes from photosynthesis.
