The korystal replaced its ancestor, the ora koral crystal and has spread across all the tropical and temperate coastlines of Glicker. It lives, much like its ancestor, at the surf zone of the beach and the coast. It now grows many more crystals from one root. The arch of each crystal are unique. Each crystal is made of hard transparent chitin which protects its red fungi-like insides. The chitin crystals have tiny holes in them which let in water and organic matter. Inside the red fungi-like interior consumes the organic matter. This same fungi-like material also makes up the "roots" of the flora and it can absorb needed nutrients and minerals from the soil. The same holes that let in food also let out tiny spores which float into the water and grow into new korystals. When its low tide the tiny holes seal up to keep it from drying out. Being able to survive in the surf zone means that during low tide it gets a break from aquatic herbivores. However this also means its vulnerable to land herbivores on the beach.
