Ancestor:Descendants:

The curled reefballs have replaced their ancestor the reefballs. It is now completely aquatic and has spread across the western coasts of Glicker. They grow in curling shapes and the roots stack on each other which creates the shape. The creatures that eat it usually just eat the spherical "leaves". They also grow buoyant spores which float around in the water. They no longer need to grow as fast since their "trunk" is left to make more spheres. They sometimes will bud off from the roots. This creates mazes of curled reefballs where small fauna can hide in from predators.
