Ancestor:Descendants:

Filterorm split from a more specialized version of cilliororm. They have 10x the number of cells of their ancestor and have moved to other sources of water. Instead of oozing over their prey, they now catch their prey with the new filter throat on the tops of their heads. If they ingest something they can't digest they simply defuse it out through their skin.
