The '''marine crystals''' first appeared after the during the [[
The genus is characterized by a hard photosynthetic chitin that have tiny pores that intake water to filter out organic matter. Inside, their red fungi-like interiors consumes the organic matter, expelling the excess water and salts from their base. This same fungi-like material forms a base, which have a root-like system, which both anchors the crystals, and allows it to absorb further needed nutrients and minerals from the soil. They all reproduce asexually using spores, which are generated in the crystal interiors and expelled out of the filter pores. They are all capable of producing mild toxins, which when ingested by most herbivores cause digestive muscle spasms, leading to expulsion of their stomach contents. This has been taken advantage of by a few species in the more nutrient poor environments near Fermi, and have allowed them to spread their spores, as the spores will use the expelled organic matter to begin growing.
