Splitting from its ancestor, the '''ninth lake skimmer''' mainly feeds at the surface of the lake, avoiding competition with the [[Midwater Saltswarmer|midwater saltswarmer]]. In order to escape from predators, it has developed the ability to lead above the water for a few feet, not very far, but enough to cause ripples and confuse predators. To do this it has well-muscled fins and has adapted its tail to make a better fin. Since it relies less upon camouflage, it still retains strong photosynthesis over portions of its body the provide a bit of extra nutrients, and, like its relative the midwater saltswarmer, it has developed basic hearing ability in the form of sensory nodes along its sides that detect vibration.
