Great storms stranded many exusfiltra on the coast. The population there split from the main line of exusfiltra. The exus impaler, with two ends emerging from the coastal seafloor, and the midsection submerged in sediment, has developed hard, sharp, keratin plating over one set of tentacles, to cover an end with sharp spikes. The coastal tides impale large prey into the spikes when the tide comes and recedes. Between the tides, the other set of tentacles pick the prey off the spiky end, and consumes the flesh, while also grooming itself of parasites.
