The glass colony has split from its ancestor, the poolalgae. The main difference between it and its ancestor is that the glass colony forms massive colonies of hundreds of individuals, looking like large colonies of moss. While the individual is only half a centimeter tall, a colony can grow up to twenty meters in diameter. The glass colony has rapidly expanded, now being found in many different polar and temperate habitats, although it still mainly lives in beach habitats. Giant pools of snowmelt will form around the colonies that live in polar biomes, providing fresh water to microbes such as the cryodome hydroutine, as well as fresh drinking water to macro species.
