The marine glowsnapper split from its ancestor, the migrating glowsnapper. It now lives completely in saltwater and no longer go to freshwater. Their systems now excrete excess salt from their eyes and urine. Adults of couse still must come to the surface to breathe air while the tadpoles can breathe underwater. They eat mainly twinkiiros and twinkorals. They lay their frog-like eggs in the coastal reefs. Unlike their ancestors they do not die after breeding and can live very long lives. The offspring hide in the reefs from predators until they are large enough to swim freely. Their shells help protect them from predators. They still have a few glow spots on their necks which they use to attract mates or warn others of danger. Their limbs have become more flipper-like which help them propel themselves though the water.
