Ancestor:Descendants:

The coastsnapper replaced its ancestor in the beaches and coasts, as well as spread to the other coasts where the korystal lives. They have evolved to be almost twice as tall as its ancestor to avoid predators and to break through waves. They only feed on korystal. The species also has sexual dimorphism. The females are smaller then the males, but have larger spikes. The males have also grown a dewlap that turns red during the mating seasons. The males with the biggest, reddest dewlaps are the ones that mate. The males are fiercely territorial. If another male wanders into their territory, they will charge them and proceed to head butt them out of their section of the surf. They are awkward swimmers but will travel in the most harsh waves of food.
