Ancestor:Descendants:

The clayren ironbud split from its ancestor and moved to the Clayren Tropical Coast. They are the same as their ancestor except for its size. They are double their ancestors size, due to the surplus of available space. Their cavities are filled with a highly basic solution, that give off electrons, drawing iron from the water and soil. Twice a year, a small ball grows on the tip of the ironbud's roots. This continues growing for 2 weeks. Then it gets detached. The cellball floats with the current until it touches the surface, at which the cellball membrane pops open and releases the ironbud. This ironrbud will float until it can anchor itself to the ground, and start growing roots.
