Ancestor:Descendants:

The joined twinkoral split from its ancestor, the pioneer twinkoral. As the sole flora species in the Kenotai waterways (except the linked bubblgea) for several million years, the pioneer twinkoral rapidly varied into many different species to fill some of the available niches. The joined twinkoral resulted from a mistake during asexual budding in which, rather than producing buds that would then fall off and grow into new twinkoral, a twinkoral grew an entire separate, but conjoined, twinkoral! This gene continued to be present in the next generation of those twinkoral, and, gradually, a new species was created. Joined twinkoral continue creating new bodies for their whole lifespan, forming large clusters that cover areas of the river. They are only prevented from covering the whole river by the feeding of the axebeak gilltail.
